hello!
Meet Samantha.
Since 2014, I’ve maintained this corner of the internet to share my thoughts about the books I’m currently reading. As an ardent literature fan and a two-time Blue Peter badge short story winner (humble brag!), I’m fortunate that this hobby born out of boredom in the evenings after school has since allowed me to forge a career, support causes close to my heart, partner up with some amazing publishers and brands and write for other publications.
In the real world, I work in corporate communications in the financial service space, splitting most of my time between London, and Cardiff. I like eating at fun restaurants, suffering through pilates sessions and geeking out over tennis and tech innovations.
I’ve also been outspoken about sexual misconduct in higher education following my own experience whilst studying in Bristol in 2019 and have worked alongside fellow survivors to campaign for mandated policies and for fairer and clearer processes when reporting to higher education institutions and police forces. Speaking about violence against women is incredibly important to me and I am a strong supporter of organisations such as Solace Women’s Aid and Do Better Academia who are helping to support survivors and hold ineffective insitutions to account.
