Overthink Tank is a newsletter about neurodiversity, addiction, motherhood, writing and popular culture.

Polite Robot was a featured Substack publication in 2021.

I will share lessons, victories and failures in my quest for more authenticity, creativity and joy, in the hope you will do the same and we will create a helpful feedback loop for ourselves.

I publish every Thursday, except for when I don’t (for extremely human and relatable reasons. Consistency is my kryptonite so wish me luck!

Subscribe if you want more self-acceptance, joy and fun, and less perfectionism, people-pleasing and despair.

Also, if you like silly drawings.

Idea for new merch.

About me

I’m an award-winning novelist, senior lecturer in Creative Writing at UWE and full-time uncertain person. I say, ‘I don’t know’ a lot.

Here’s a rave review of my first book, Infinite Sky, in the Guardian, in case that impresses you. (I have to admit, it still impresses me.)

I’m currently working on a memoir/guidebook about getting sober and discovering I’m neurodiverse AF - Beautiful Hangover: how late autism/ADHD diagnoses helped me make peace with a drunken past, as well as a new novel about motherhood, friendship and psychopathy.
