I am a Fellow of Newnham College, Cambridge. 

I write literary essays, fiction, journalism, academic books about Shakespeare and Renaissance culture (botany, medicine, theology, politics), and critical editions of novels by the forgotten women of the Catholic Literary Revival.

In Cambridge, I teach English Literature and sit on the steering committee of the BBC / Cambridge National Short Story Prize.

My agent is Anna Power at Johnson & Alcock. I am working on book-length projects, both fiction and non-fiction.
