Finding the Plot

In a retelling of the Bhagavad Gita set on an allotment in Yorkshire’s Rhubarb Triangle, a grieving woman must battle anxiety, dodgy relatives and other weeds to find her true purpose.

The Bhagavad Gita is an ancient Indian scripture which forms part of the epic Mahabharata.

FINDING THE PLOT mirrors its eighteen chapter structure, with Arjuna and Krishna’s dialogue woven into the contemporary narrative. I

FINDING THE PLOT won the Page 100 Competition 2026 and was shortlisted for the Leeds Festival of  Writing First 500 Competition 2026. The opening chapter is published in Embark Literary Journal.

I’m hoping to find a way to publish it over the next year - watch this space for updates!
