Hello
I am the author of three novels: ‘Bed’ (Canongate 2011 - winner of the Betty Trask Prize and currently being made into a film from a script by Jack Thorne), ‘Mobile Library’ (Picador 2015 - winner of the Jerwood Fiction Prize) and ‘The Long Forgotten’ (Picador 2018). My debut non-fiction book ‘About A Son’ will be published by Phoenix in April 2022, with the follow-up, ‘A Year At The End Of A Life’, due at some point in the future.
I’ve written scripts for FX, Channel 4, ITV and Sky, and written for lots of newspapers and magazines including The Guardian, Esquire, The Times, The Observer Magazine, Sunday Times Style and many more. I've won awards for journalism from The Times, The Evening Standard, the PPA and the PTC. I was the Editor-at-Large of ShortList magazine.
