“The immediacy and honesty of Samantha’s writing is extraordinary” – Denise Mina

Samantha’s fiction focuses on first-person, female voices. Her work explores the significance seemingly small moments can hold, how characters react in times of high emotion, shame, and embarrassment.

Her stories have been published in New Writing Scotland, Gutter, Postbox, Erato, Severine, Razur Cuts, and Clover & White. In 2021 she won a Scottish Book Trust New Writer Award. She has had monologues performed by Slackline Productions and Coronavirus Theatre Club. Her short plays have been staged by Short Attention Theatre and at Queen’s Theatre, Hornchurch.
