AHWA Mentorship

August 2021

I am beyond thrilled to announce that I have been selected for an AHWA mentorship!

My mentor will be the brilliant, prolific, Kaaron Warren — award-winning author of Into Bones Like Oil, Walking the Tree, The Grief Hole, Slights, Mistification, and a raft of speculative short stories.

Over the next three months, with Kaaron’s guidance, I’ll be reworking the opening chapters of my dark, folkloric novel, A Harbour Not a Home.

With such an incredible mentor on board, I’m super excited for all that I’m about to learn and eager to get stuck into the work ahead!

A Harbour Not a Home:

In a forgotten, colonial town at the bottom of the world, nineteen-year-old fry-cook, Marte, is struggling to keep her homicidal tendencies in check. Here, among the sandstone cottages and banksias, walk the Life and Death folk, those who harvest magic from nature or blood, and Marte’s estranged father is one of the worst.
