Hello there!

I'm Briony.

I'm a brown-eyed girl from Nottingham who has just finished studying English at the University of Birmingham.

I love to write and I have ever since I was little. Whatever form it may be I've written one sort (albeit terribly) at some point in my life. I grew up scribbling stories and even tried to pen my own language at one stage (Tolkien eat your heart out) so I've always had an interest in language. I am rather a messy writer, as I tend to get carried away in the vivid images and wild ideas causing my prose to be somewhat unrefined - but I'm working on it!

Authors/Poets I admire:

Sylvia Plath - Iain Banks - Mark Haddon - Charlotte Bronte - George Gordon - Garth Nix - Jane Austen- John Keats -  D.H. Laurence - Umberto Eco - Thomas Mann - Alexander Pope

 My guilty pleasure is fantasy. I read His Dark Materials when I was ten and from then I was hooked. Some of my favourite writers of fantasy/adventure stories are Lian Hearn, Garth Nix and Catherine Fisher. If you're a fan of the genre I highly recommend them!

I am a big comedy fan - sit-coms, sketch shows (Flight of the Conchords, Early Boosh, Python) and particularly live stand-up i.e. Eddie Izzard, Jason Manford, Tim Minchin etc.

My taste in music is pretty eclectic I'd say. I like blues, acoustic, classical, indie, rock, drum and bass. Anything that moves me, happy or sad, is worth listening to.

I like variety and change, it keeps me excited in things.

I have a few mini-projects on the go at the moment, and if you get a chance I would be eternally grateful if you could check out my new and ever expanding poetry collection;

Sheep Talk

It's more absurdist than any poetry I've written before but I feel in my element with it, so if you have any feedback whatsoever that would be marvelous.

Also currently neglected prose BUT will be returned to eventually:

Red Lily

Bella: Princess of Parallelograms

Marie

Exerpt From Another Life

A collaborative story I'm writing with Elorithryn and Hummingbird about a young woman's suicide and two other character's mission to prevent it, well worth checking out:
