About

Penny's author profile picture. In it, Penny is looking at the camera and smiling. They are a short-haired white person with red glasses and a black baseball cap with a hedgehog on it.

Penny Gotch (they/them>she/her) is a tired neurodivergent enby who has spent most of their life living in Essex in the UK.

During their BA and MA studies in writing at Canterbury Christ Church University, they experimented in a wide variety of genres and thus consider themself a bit of an authorial Jack-of-all-trades. Having said that, their writing bread-and-butter tends towards short stories and poetry over most other things.

When Penny isn’t writing, sleeping, or getting stuck in an ADHD procrastination cycle on their phone, they are usually engaged in one of their favourite hobbies: reading weird and gruesome horror books; baking excessive quantities of cake; swearing at cross-stitches; or going to the gym.

They are also owned by Poppy, a small cat with a huge attitude.

If you want to get to know Penny better, here’s a list of ways to contact them.
