BETH O’Brien is an English Literature BA and Creative Writing MA graduate from the University of Birmingham. Work and leisure overlap a lot as reading, writing, and audio-booking are some of her favourite things to do. Beth is the author of a couple of poetry books, including I Left the Room Burning (Wild Pressed Books, 2021). Having been born visually impaired and with an upper-limb difference, Beth has a long-standing interest in the representation of disability in literature and is currently studying for a PhD in Creative Writing funded by Midlands4Cities, researching the (mis)representation of disability in contemporary fairy tale retellings.
