About Me

nmj: Scotland, United Kingdom; My autobiographical novel The State of Me was published in 2008 by HarperCollins.

I've been published in a range of literary magazines and was shortlisted for RLS Award (2005), Bridport Short Story Prize 2011 and Bridport Flash Fiction Prize 2012 & 2023. Links to more published writing below. In slow process of writing novella about my late Pakistani doctor father. Am of mixed heritage.
