He won the 2015 Great British Write Off poetry prize for a poem disguised in a Venn diagram. His first published work, ‘You Took The Last Bus Home’ was published by Unbound and shortlisted for the Cost First Novel Award. His novel ‘Diary Of A Somebody’ was published to much critical acclaim in 2020.
