The very aesthetically pleasing Ellipsis Zine, feat. my little story!
I don’t post work-related updates on here all that often, but for those not in the know, I’m a writer by trade. I work freelance, producing content on all sorts of topics for blogs, websites and zines (don’t hesitate to get in touch with any enquiries), whilst crafting my own creative pieces on the side – fiction, poetry, essays, and suchlike.
I happened to have a couple of things published in fairly quick succession recently, so thought I may as well share them here.
Firstly, I had a short story published by the wonderful Ellipsis Zine. Inspired by Rapunzel, it can be found in their latest release, which is available both in print and digital formats here.
Secondly, I wrote a fun little piece of creative non-fiction about Mary Shelley and literary prophecies. It was published in the fifth issue of Cauldron Anthology, which can be read online – for free!
That’s it for now. Hopefully there will be more to share soon. Many thanks, and happy reading.

I just read your Mary Shelley piece and I loved it! Very informative and it’s made me even more excited to give Frankenstein another go soon. Congrats on all the recent publications!
Ahh, thank you! I’m so glad 😊 Here’s hoping you get as much from revisiting Frankenstein as I did!
I’ve also just read your article on Mary Shelley and found it so interesting.☺ I had never considered reading anything by Mary Shelley before and certainly not Frankenstein but you have really changed my mind about that. Don’t you love it when that happens?! Thanks 😊
That’s so lovely to hear! If you decide to give it a go, I hope you enjoy it 😊 Either way, thank you so much for checking out my piece.
Congratulations! Now I am going to need to re-read Frankenstein.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it 😊
I want to ask you how you make a living writing, but money questions are rude! I went to a while conference about how to be a freelance writer, and it sounded impossible.
It’s definitely never easy. Finding reliable, friendly clients is the biggest thing, I’d say. Though that’s obviously a lot easier said than done, lol.
That’s excellent news. And great for your readers. I’m looking forward to reading both pieces 🙂
Thank you so much, Mel 😊 I appreciate your support, as always.
I have a couple of your books ready to read taunting me right now! I can’t wait to get to them!! 💖💖
That’s so kind, I hope you enjoy! 😊❤️
