About me

A writer based in Cornwall. Yugoslav-born author of fiction and narrative prose. Write to name unnamed bits of shame, insecurity, boredom, arousal, and regret.

 

Alongside writing, I work in film school and research how stories travel between cultures. Part of the 2026–2027 Word Space programme for emerging writers and Literature Works association in the South West.

 

I write. A lot.
