My story ‘Corvidae’ won the £10,000 Mogford Prize for Food & Drink Writing 2019.

‘Corvidae’ was chosen by Prize founder Jeremy Mogford and guest judges Julian Barnes, Author and Man Booker Prize winner, and food writer Tim Hayward.

I am beyond thankful to the judges, and to Jeremy Mogford.

You can listen to the story here, or you can read it online, here. It is also available in the anthology.

The prize giving took place at Quod in Oxford, on the 3rd April 2019. I wore my best emotional support lobster earrings and scuttled off to the restaurant, Quod, to met the other shortlisted writers, Jeremy Mogford, and past winners and judges of the prize.

My gratitude to Jeremy Mogford and family for a magical evening in Oxford.

I was presented with not only a lovely award, but a beautifully bound chapbook of my story, ‘Corvidae’, which will be gifted to all guests in The Old Bank and Old Parsonage in Oxford over the coming years.
