Fiction

I am working on a novel (and plotting several more) and represented by Elliot Prior via. Curtis Brown Books. Please send any book-related questions through to him!

Journalism

In June 2025 I began writing a weekly online column for the New Statesman, mostly about pop culture and sometimes politics. You can find them all here! Below are some personal favourite clips, there and elsewhere:

Alone time: reassessing Greta Garbo, 100 years after her screen debut - The Guardian

Hollywood voyeurism at the Marilyn Monroe exhibition - The New Statesman

The teenage Messiah is no more - The New Statesman

The cult of Camille Paglia - The Spectator

China’s greatest poet was a drunk teenage girl - The Spectator

It’s time to shake up the Emmys (and the Grammys, Oscars and Tonys) - The Spectator

Blogging:

I blog about classic film, pop culture, politics, and my reading/writing life at Fairyland!, Britain’s most esoteric alt-monthly email newsletter. It’s free for now!
