About Luke

I always feel a little surprised that my career is all about words! Words seemed so out of reach when I was young, but during my BA I discovered two things: a love for writing and that I had dyslexia. I studied MA Writing for Performance where I honed my skills and developed my craft. I regularly visit my old university as a guest lecturer and enjoy the opportunity to show future writers that conditions are not defining, and that determination can take you to great places.

My passion is video game history and I have curated numerous events in Derby celebrating its local history. These include the now annual Tomb Raider celebration TR26 at QUAD Derby and the Retro Arcade Weekend at Derby Museum. I am also a trustee at QUAD, Derby. I chair the Fundraising Committee; exploring different avenues to increase awareness and generate additional donations.
