My work as a writer, filmmaker and artist all overlap, but ‘editing’ is a good unifying description, joining stuff together to build narratives. Non-fiction and fiction combine, starting from a sense that the world is constructed in the same way – constantly evolving and always temporary.
I am one of the 2022/23 Representing Wales cohort, Literature Wales’ development programme for under-represented writers and have been part of training sessions with Curtis Brown Creatives and Moniack Mohr. A short story, Foolscap, was recently included in Cree, The Rhys Davies Short Story Award anthology with Parthian.
I am currently working in short-form and novella. I’m interested in how I build on a significant connection with where I grew up, Bargoed, a teenager in a landscape of massive upheaval during the 80s. I try to write – accurately – about hidden stories, where it is perhaps doubt, rather than certainty, that is the default.
