Stars & Staffs (March 2021)
Submission format: Short story
Title: Observe
Length: 870 words
Link: https://starsandstaffs.weebly.com/ss-shorts-observe.html
Fun fact: The layout of this story, which has certain words redacted, originally broke Stars & Staffs’ website, and the publishers had to change the code so that my story could be seen and read by everyone!
JUNO Magazine(December 2022)
Submission format: Non-fiction article
Article title: Selective Mutism
Article length: 2000 words
Link: https://junomagazine.com/products/issue-81-winter-2022
Fun fact: I originally wrote this article for an assessment in university, where we were tasked with interviewing someone and writing a “creative non-fiction article” featuring it. To escape the social anxiety of interviewing a stranger, I interviewed my mum about Selective Mutism, a condition I struggled with as a child. My lecturer suggested I send the finished article to some parenting magazines, as they believed the story I told to be unique, and JUNO ended up wanting it!
WI4C Leicester (March 2023)
Submission format: Short story
Story title: The Prize
Story length: 1500 words
Link: https://x.com/WI4CLeics/status/1652592524446277632
Fun fact: Months after I won this competition and had my story published, I ran into the people behind Write In For Charity Leicester at my coffee shop job! I think they ordered Lattes?
Broken Sleep Books(October 2023)
Submission format: Short story as part of an anthology (Happiness, Sadness, and All Things In-Between)
Story title: Broken Mirror
Story length: 1700 words
Link: https://www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page/happiness-sadness-and-all-things-in-between
Fun fact: This anthology was created as part of another university assessment, and we even held a fake online book launch for it, where I volunteered to read out the opening to this story. This was my first experience with reading my work in a public setting.
