About

Hi, I’m Jackson (she/her), a writer from London.

I started this website in 2018 as a place to share my love of anime and manga, create an online portfolio of my fiction, and document my journey to get an agent. I’ve been writing since childhood and always dreamed of being an author from the moment I realised books didn’t just grow from the ground. After a few years of unsuccessful queries, I wanted a public writing space to call my own, and I’m very grateful for the friends and readers who supported this website over the years and shared my work.

Everything changed in 2020. I submitted my completed racial dystopia to Penguin’s #WriteNow competition, and out of 4000 applicants, I made the final 14 to enrol on the programme. A lot happened during my first year with #WriteNow, which led me to submit another completed manuscript at the start of 2022: the first volume of a Black urban fantasy set in London, something that I had been plotting on and off for several years.

It looks like I struck gold with this new manuscript. I suddenly found myself with two book deal offers from two rival imprints at Penguin Random House. I sought my small list (*ahem* 2 names) of ideal agents and queried them, completely beside myself. I signed with Molly Jamieson of United Agents the next day.

The Reaper, the first book in the Gethsemane series, releases in 2025. I’m so excited for you to read my silly little story about the Jamaican empath, Amethyst St Clair, and the strange magical man she meets in an abandoned alleyway in Camden Town.
