Editor and Director of literary publisher, Dead Ink. My focus is working with emerging literary talent on daring and exciting work.
Producing regular publishing and writing events on behalf of the Society of Young Publishers and promoting those events within the region. Advising and assisting young publishers in their careers.
I currently run literary fiction publisher, Dead Ink Books. In my role I commission titles and work closely with authors to develop their careers and their work. The primary focus of the press is exciting literary talent that defies straightforward categorisation. In particular we work with new and emerging authors who are beginning to find their voice and establish themselves in the industry.
As an Editor, I supportively work with authors on narrative, structure, character, tone and style to produce well written books that they are proud of. Work that transcends, merges or abandons genre and is unafraid to be bold and experimental is what I have focussed on developing and where my current strengths lie as an Editor.
Established the online literary journal, The Night Light, and acted as Editor commissioning titles from new and emerging authors and preparing them for publication.
