Gemma Fairclough is a writer, English Literature Master’s graduate, Write Like a Grrrl alumna, and Buffy fanatic from Manchester. Her short story, ‘Please Make Sure You Take All Your Personal Belongings With You’, about an office worker with a fetish for automated voices, was published online by Dear Damsels in 2019 and was also selected to appear in the Dear Damsels Annual 2020. She is currently working on a novella. Presumably a duck in a former life, Gemma spends as little time as possible out of the bath.
