I also write short stories and was lucky enough to win the Woman & Home short story competition (in association with Costa) in 2008 and in 2009, the Yeovil Short story prize.
Since then, my stories have won, been placed, shortlisted and long-listed in a variety of other competitions, including the Bath Short Story Award, the Fish Short Story Prize, Writing Magazine and the Scottish Arts Club Short Story Award.
I’ve recently been experimenting and learning about Flash Fiction too and have had success in a number of competitions from the Bath Flash Fiction Award and Mslexia Flash Fiction Competition to Hastings LitFest, Retreat West Flash Fiction Prize and the Oxford Flash Fiction Prize 2021.
My short stories have been published in several magazines, including My Weekly and The Sunday Express Magazine.
