Françoise Harvey lives in North East England but grew up on an even smaller island in a rural area. She has had stories published in Bourbon Penn, Cast of Wonders, The Dark, Black Static, Interzone, Best British Short Stories 2017 and more. She works for a writing organisation where her job is to support emerging Northern writers, and is part of a music collective. She spends the rest of her time stomping around fields and hills with her rescue husky or, currently, working on a novel.
