Georgina Parfitt

Georgina was born and raised in Norfolk, and moved to the US when she was 18 to study at Harvard University. She has worked as a speed-dating hostess, an actor, a ghostwriter, and now teaches in South East London. This year, during the lockdown, she’s been working via video and phone, with elderly people across the UK, helping them to write their life stories. In her own work, she’s exploring structures that are truer to the way people actually tell and recall their lives than the traditional chapter-by-chapter format, and she is looking forward to playing more with life stories and life cycles, working at the meeting place of life writing and fiction.
