I’ve been lucky enough that some of my writing has won, or been shortlisted for, a few competitions. My first win was for a short story I wrote in class at university, called ‘Shedding the Skin’; it was about a funeral in an outback town.

Since then, I’ve had poetry commended in competitions and have read my work in front of various audiences.
