What I do
📚 Book Reviews
I review traditionally published and indie books across speculative fiction, historical fiction and literary fiction.
Reviews are posted on The Second Draft and, where appropriate, Goodreads and Instagram.
🎤 Author Interviews
I enjoy speaking to authors about their work, creative process and the ideas behind their books.
✍ Guest Features
I’m open to guest essays, Q&As and features that fit the tone of The Second Draft.

My approach
Every review on The Second Draft is independent and reflects my genuine opinion. Receiving an ARC or review copy never guarantees a positive review. My aim is always to write thoughtful, balanced reviews that help readers decide whether a book is right for them.
Where your work may appear
Before you get in touch
- Digital ARCs are preferred.
- I can’t guarantee a review date unless agreed in advance.
- I reserve the right to decline requests that aren’t a good fit for the site.
- All reviews are honest and independent.
