about me

I'm a 20-something from south England. I'm working on a PhD as well as holding down various part-time jobs, one of which, is teaching Creative Writing on a BA course. I'm very much into comedy, although my writing rarely reflects that, and have recently performed at a gig in London. I like smiling.

1984 by George Orwell

Hi, I really like this, I really do, however, I felt there were some issues. In some places, I felt the description was clunky and could do with some pruning. I did have a specific phrase in mind, but I can only remember the first three words now - it was as if... The characterisation is great. ... view book

This is reminscent in some ways of Oryx & Crake. By that I mean stunning. I think it is so hard when you write in this genre to show and not tell because you are constantly introducing the reader to new concepts and environments. You have accomplished this, again, in a similar way to Oryx & Crake... view book

Right, negatives - Addressing the reader. This really, really aggravates me. I don't want to be told how I should read your text, I don't want a summary of the following chapters. I want to read for myself and make up my own mind. Having read the synopsis and then the opening brief, I was really... view book

This is a lovely, light yet mysterious read. I've only read to chapter 7, but have enjoyed it very much. I like your narrative voice, it's really individual adn clear.
