This website collates my various writings, which encompass exploratory features and journalistic articles as well as fiction, creative non-fiction and poetry in a single portfolio.
Through these examples, I hope to showcase the diversity of my interests and the range of my authorial voice. I hope there is something here that will capture your interest!
Dramatic
For the prestigious University of Leeds student newspaper, The Gryphon, I wrote several news articles concerning the city and student life with a particular focus on politics and the economy. Their subject matter ranged from national pieces on the partial cancellation of HS2 to breaking local stories such as Bonfire Night riots in Hyde Park. Read more by heading to the Facts page.
Epic
Long-form features, personal explorations and essays on the arts and culture can be found under the Features tab. I began writing these reflections during the lockdown of 2020, and came to relish investigating and sitting with certain topics for longer periods – subjects which inevitably prompt more emotional responses and introspection, which rigorous journalism rarely permits!
Lyric
I am also a keen poet, and snippets of my ongoing prose poetry project, well –– assembled, amongst other miscellaneous poetry and flash fiction can be found by visiting the Fiction section. When the logic of cohesive prose proves inaccessible or inadequate, I can always rely on more abstract genres as a means to understand the world.
