FAQ

Where possible, I mention the different pro photographers I work with alongside the specific shots by them in my posts. The particular shot from this page is by Morgane Maurice who is fabulous!

All other photos are taken by me, friends or family members who are handy with a camera.

I use Lightroom for most of the images on this blog.

For pictures from shoots, the editing is usually done by the photographer I worked with. Every single photographer has their own distinct style and their credentials should be listed alongside the shots if you want to reach out and ask them about editing directly

Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions around a particular shoot or photo.

I have ‘favourites’ shelves on GoodReads and The Storygraph that you can peruse. To name a few;

• The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
• If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio
• The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters

Experiences of different resources and services can vary from individual to individual. I always recommend being mindful that experiences of a service largely depend on who takes your call / who it pairs you with.

For those in Bristol, I did use The Bridge and SARSAS‘ ISVA service so these are potential starting points to explore.

In terms of organisations, perhaps take a look at The 1752 Group, Solace Women’s Aid, Do Better Academia and Rape Crisis England and Wales.

I’m open to being approached about any press or speaking/panel/webinar opps regarding sexual violence in higher education so please do get in touch.

I assess these on a case by case basis depending on a number of factors including my availability and the suitability of the project itself so please do include as much information as possible in your request.

Given the sensitive nature, I ask that you please do not repurpose my story if I am unavailable and refuse. Unless you have written permission from me AND we have spoken about the story or project you’re working on, then I do not wish to have my experience covered, repurposed, or referenced in any media pieces that I have not been expressly involved in.

Absolutely! I routinely work with major UK and US publishers, but I am always happy to receive books from independent, self-published authors too! Please have a read of my Review Policy before you send me an email and please tell me as much about your book as possible.

Sadly, I can’t always guarantee that I’ll be able to say yes to every request. Waiting times for a review will vary throughout year. If you have a specific deadline or want the review to be timed with a launch, please let me know in advance.

For all other collaborations, please reach out and we can then discuss the type of promotion you’d like. I cannot guarantee that gifted products will be included in any of my posts.
