I’m a writer from Melbourne, Australia. I grew up on the Central Coast of New South Wales and studied creative writing at the University of Wollongong. I attended the Clarion West Writers Workshop in 2014. You can find my short stories at Interfictions, Terraform, Apex, The Sockdolager, Aurealis, Mad Scientist Journal, Slink Chunk Press, Feminartsy and the In Your Face, Hear Me Roar, Kindred and Best Summer Stories anthologies. My debut novella, Welcome To Orphancorp, won Seizure’s Viva La Novella 3 and the 2016 Victorian Premiers Literary Award for Young Adult Fiction. It was shortlisted for The NSW Premiers Award, an Aurealis Award, and the Norma K Hemming Award. The sequel, Psynode, was released in May of 2017 and was shortlisted for best YA novel in the 2018 Aurealis Awards. The third and final book in the series Prisoncorp was released in 2019. My non-fiction can be found at Overland, Kill Your Darlings, Writers Bloc, Going Down Swinging and more. In 2017 I won the Ditmar Award for Best New Talent. I like dreaming of the future, cats, and making a spectacle of myself.
