THE
BETTER WITH BOOKS
CLUB
Making sense of things through books and writing. ​
Welcome
I'm a writer, counsellor, marketer, list-maker, and PhD student from Manchester, UK. My PhD is exploring the therapeutic benefits of reading and writing (autobiography) in addiction recovery, and I am creatively interested in blurring the lines between horror, fiction, memoir, and mental health.
I am in the process of rejigging this site, but feel free to have a read of the news below, work updates, or the ol' blog posts.

Get in touch by email: thebetterwithbooksclub@gmail.com
Or you can find me on Instagram and Threads: @thebetterwithbooksclub or on Bluesky.
