10 December 2025. Your feedback isn’t just welcome, it could become part of the story.
For my practice-based PhD at the University of Gloucestershire, I will write a serialised novel and I will publish it on Substack as it goes along. It’ll be still a few months yet before the official launch, but the first chapters are already taking shape. I want you to be part of it. Not just as a reader, but a collaborator, with comments and reactions on each part as it’s released. I’ve got a small cast of characters already that I’d love you all to meet, and your feedback will help shape their narrative journey.
