Writing
I write fiction and non-fiction, and have done since I could hold a pen.
I am primarily an essayist and critic, and write twenty-first century demoniac, a Substack blog which takes a closer look at what we’re missing when we get stuck in a doomscroll. My work is concerned with art, power, the internet, and our imaginings of the body across time. I’m currently interested in analysing body-management practices and the wellness industry, through a critical feminist lens.
I am open for commission to review any books on internet culture and technology, early modern history, the history of science, medicine, and food, and health and wellness.
