About

I am a Publishing Director at Hodder & Stoughton (Hachette UK) working on crime, thrillers, women’s fiction and romantasy. For more information about this, please visit the editor life tab.

I also write myself and am the author of five novels. My first book, The Doll House, was published on September 14th, 2017 with HQ HarperCollins. My second book, The Girl Next Door, was published on 21st February 2019 and my third book, The Babysitter, came out in May 2020. My fourth book The Wild Girls was published in April 2021, and my fifth book, The Trip, will be out on May 9th, 2024. My books have sold over 250,000 copies and been translated into ten languages.

I love to hear from anyone interested in the writing process and am happy to provide brief advice on getting published, although please note I don’t work as a freelance editor so am unable to provide feedback on individual submissions unless through my day job.

I occasionally run writing workshops and you can see testimonials from my most recent one at Chiswick Book Festival below:

‘I really enjoyed your class and thought you taught a big, complex subject very well. I am inspired now!’

‘Superb psychological thriller workshop this morning!’

‘Really fabulous – lots to think about. Got some brilliant tools to put in my writing box.’

‘Thank you for your brilliant, inspiring workshop today. You packed so much in -delivered in such an engaging way – and all the info was really useful. Best of all for me was that out of the writing exercises came the germ of an idea that I shall pursue further.’

‘I really enjoyed this morning’s session – you were a great presenter and thank you for sharing your expertise.’

‘A very enjoyable event, a good investment for the future.’

‘A terrifically interesting talk.’
