Awards

I have had the huge honour to be shortlisted (finalist) to several awards as both editor and author, four times to British Fantasy Awards (2016-2018), and I was also awarded the Starburst Magazine’s Brave New Words Award 2018 for my editor work on Pacific Monsters.

Stories in anthologies I have edited have also been shortlisted to several awards, including Caine Prize for African Writing (2017), Aurealis Awards (2018) and Sir Julius Vogel Awards (2018).
