I’m a writer of both adult and young adult fiction, both as myself and as Phoebe Locke. Before I did that, I was in charge of Permissions at Faber, where I negotiated with people who wanted to put Plath on stamps or translate Eliot into Pirate (both of those were genuine requests). I’ve also worked for Faber Academy, and continue to work as a freelancer editor.

My latest novel, Her Many Faces, will be published in July 2025 by Harvill Secker (UK) and William Morrow (US).

I’m represented by Cathryn Summerhayes at Curtis Brown.
