Hello, I’m Gabriel. My debut novel, Poor Ghost! is out now with Sceptre Books. It’s available for purchase online from Waterstones, Foyles, and Bookshop.org in the UK and from Dussmann and Buecher.de in Germany, as well as in many local bookshops.
My writing has appeared in Five Dials, Best British Short Stories, Review 31, and Lighthouse Journal. I was shortlisted for the White Review Short Story Prize in 2020 and I was the featured author in the May, 2025 edition of The Berliner. I also co-edit the website creativecritical.net with Irina Dumitrescu and Thomas Karshan.
I was born in Seattle, WA in 1991 and grew up in and around Manchester, England. After leaving school, I worked as a bike messenger, ESL teacher, and cycling instructor and played in the bands War Coma, Delos, and Gentle Art of Chokin’. Later, I did an access course at The Manchester College, a BA and MA in English Literature at the University of East Anglia, and a year as a Kennedy Scholar at Harvard. I’m now doing a PhD in Literary Practice at the University of Warwick, for which I’m writing a second novel and a thesis on Theodor Adorno’s aesthetic theory.
I live in Berlin with my wife and in my spare time, I play football for SC Falco Subbuteo.
