Since then, she has been selected for the 2018 Katharine Susannah Pritchard Writers’ Centre 1st Edition Retreat hosted by WA author Laurie Steed, and for the 2018-19 Four Centres Emerging Writers’ Program.

In 2019, her poetry appeared in Landscapes: The Journal of the International Centre for Landscape and Language and The Last Bookshop was shortlisted for the inaugural $20,000 Fogarty Literary Award.

In 2020, she was shortlisted for the Arthur Lovekin Prize for Excellence in Journalism.

She has two more fiction manuscripts on the go.
