Work experience
Self-employed
Plymouth University
I teach creative writing to both undergraduates and post-graduates.
High-quality online journal
I began on the journal as a reader, and then as assistant fiction editor, but have been editor for two years now. We are an annual publication specialising in the short story. I collaborate with authors to ensure their fiction reaches its potential, which can involve large structural changes to line edits.
