I am a London-based British writer who grew up in the gay village and red light district of Manchester.

I was trained in screenwriting at the University of the Arts London; National Film & Television School and Script Factory, UK, followed by various misadventures as a film journalist, and writer and producer of short films.

My stories are based on personal and emotional experiences, and feature strong LGBTQ-identified characters.

"A lovely quiet book, on the cusp of being a novella, which seduced me with the tale of a researcher. Unusual yet thoughtful and intelligent. Recommended."

“I stare at my hands and remember my dad's and how I trusted them when I was a kid until I learned that they could turn into fists. And words could hurt even more than the bruises.”
A. Zukowski, Liam for Hire

“Kissing a boy you found attractive was fine.”
A. Zukowski, The Boy Who Fell to Earth
tags: gay, lgbtq, ya

“Hi, Emily. You don’t know me. My name’s Liam and I’m Ali’s boyfriend. If you’ve been watching us from wherever, you know that already, though.� I swallow. “I’m sorry about what happened. Ali really loved you. I have no doubt about that. But...�
I read through the hymns and the music, including Satie’s Gnossienne. At the funeral, Ali read a poem called ‘Remember Me� by Margaret Mead.
To the living, I am gone.
To the sorrowful, I will never return.
To the angry, I was cheated.
But to the happy, I am at peace.
And to the faithful, I have never left.
It’s as though Emily is speaking to me, telling me that she can be happy for us. Her sister’s anger is not going to bring her back. I
hope it’s true. I find myself tearing up, even though I didn’t know her. I can imagine how moving Ali’s recitation was. “Ali and I are happy and I think you would be supportive of him. Your sister’s angry because she’s hurt but Ali has no intention of causing her pain. Or your parents. Please, wish me luck”
A. Zukowski, Liam for Hire

“I stare at my hands and remember my dad's and how I trusted them when I was a kid until I learned that they could turn into fists. And words could hurt even more than the bruises.”
A. Zukowski, Liam for Hire

“The light was not broken, but in the darkness it had a different kind of radiance. If I seek it, I’ll find it.”
A. Zukowski, Courting Light

“My soul is so lonely, but I'm unwilling to describe that sort of loneliness for you, because I can't divulge the depth of my loneliness to anyone who'd cast away my soul, cast away my life, someone who'd cavalierly take me to the brink of death and who could, without a trace of emotion or sympathy for the pain and suffering I've experienced, cruelly exile me to a foreign country. I don't hate you as much as I did, but I am so desperately lonely.”
Miaojin Qiu

“Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft swell and fall,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever-or else swoon to death.”
John Keats, Bright Star: Love Letters and Poems of John Keats to Fanny Brawne
