Welcome to The Literary Obsessive
At the heart of The Literary Obsessive is community in action. All is relational, and from there grows what matters to me: critical thinking, attention to detail, quality craft and independent output. You’ve found me because some, or all, of that matters to you. Welcome. Together, let’s champion the brilliance in each of us.
Subscribers enjoy:
Substack LIVE: interviews with writers, publishers and anyone else who comes to mind. These happen ad hoc and live on the Substack app. The recordings are also made available to all subscribers.
Publishing: If I’ve a book coming out, I’ll be writing about it.

Thank you, in advance, for this active show of faith, and belief in each other.

About me
A feminist, anarchist, gnostic, I was born in London, educated at Westminster School but distracted from finishing my degree at Manchester University by a trip to India. I travelled for the next decade, living all over the world, running a commune and building a stone circle by hand before finally settling down to write my debut novel, A Perfect Explanation (Salt Books) which was listed for The Desmond Elliott Prize and Not The Booker Prize. I now live not quietly at all between a rural farmhouse in the southeast of England, London and the south of France.
