Welcome!
…to the website of British author, Helen Cross.
I am the author of novels, stories, radio plays and screenplays. My first novel, My Summer of Love, won a Betty Trask Award and became a BAFTA award winning feature film. Mighty Atom Entertainment are currently working on a film adaptation of my latest novel, Spilt Milk Black Coffee, and I am completing a fourth novel.
I was educated at Goldsmiths College, University of London and am a graduate of the MA in Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia. I teach creative writing at various universities in the UK and on many community courses.
My latest short story, Clarence Dock, was published in the Autumn 2020 edition of Popshot Magazine and my latest BBC Afternoon Play, The Return of Rowena The Wonderful, was broadcast on Friday 12 June 2020 and is available now on BBC Sounds.
