Natalie Gregory

Natalie, who is German-Thai, grew up in the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand. She is the winner of the Primadonna Prize 2023, having submitted the opening of her debut novel Mother, Ghost, Mango Seed.

Natalie’s short story, ‘A Bowl of Soup’, was published in Together in the UK’s anthology, Hear our Stories by Victorina Press. This story also won the Creative Writing NZ flash fiction competition and was shortlisted for the Exeter Short Story Prize. Her work has also been shortlisted for the University of East Anglia’s David T.K. Wong Fellowship.

She lives in a cosy but troublesome 17th century thatched cottage (once a blacksmiths) in Buckinghamshire with her husband and two children. She still feels cold so far away from the tropics and never stops craving Thai food, but she loves exploring the English countryside.
