About The Author

The Fence

Founded in 2019, The Fence is a quarterly print magazine offering a blend of investigations, features, short stories and fiction, always threaded through with a wry humour and playful touch. Over the last four years, they have established themselves as one of Britain’s most exciting publications. Stocked across the country in WH Smith, and routinely among bestselling magazines in boutiques such as MagCulture, Good News, and the LRB Bookshop, they have been perfectly described by former Vanity Fair Editor-in-Chief Graydon Carter as “the illegitimate offspring of Private Eye and Evelyn Waugh.”
