I’m a disabled former teacher turned writer and founder of the popular online writing community Virtual Writers.
I have an MA with distinction in Creative Writing from Manchester Metropolitan University and am currently pursuing a PhD at Lancaster University. My critical research examines the ways in which themes of illness and disability are framed in children’s Gothic fiction.
