Her stories have also appeared in Chapman, Company, Cosmopolitan, Critical Quarterly, P.N Review, and West Coast Magazine, (in the UK), and in Krino, Passages, and Stet (in Ireland).

Her poems have been published in Acumen, Cencrastus, Crannog, Cyphers, Flaming Arrows, Fortnight, the Forward Book of Poetry 2010, the Frogmore Papers, New Edinburgh Review, New Statesman and Society, Northern Lights, Northlight, Northwords, Oasis, Orbis, Other Poetry, Poetry Scotland, The Scotsman, The Shop, Stand, The Steeple, Verse, and Writing Women.
