I’ve been writing freelance since university; from 2000 to 2006 I worked for the what’s-on magazine company Leeds Guide, where I was, variously, the Annual Guides editor, Leeds Guide deputy editor, rock and pop editor and an exceedingly efficient postmistress.
I currently live in Slaithwaite, West Yorkshire. When not working, I enjoy hillwalking in the Pennines, Dales and Peak District, making music and installations and running a regular free improvisation evening. I’m also on the core committee of Yorkshire Sound Women Network, a non-profit organisation set up to increase women and girls’ participation in music technology.
