About Me
I am a writer and researcher. My stories, essays, and reviews have appeared in Slightly Foxed, Hortus, The Short Story, Prole, FlashBack Fiction, Literary Mama, The Honest Ulsterman, and elsewhere. My short fiction has won the Bridport Prize and a Tom-Gallon Award from the Society of Authors.
As a sociologist, I’ve written academic articles and chapters about a range of topics, using qualitative interviews and ethnographic methods to explore how people talk about and reflect on their everyday lives. Recently, I co-authored a book about some of the creative ways researchers and academics can find inspiration in storytelling and fiction.

"The flash fiction pieces were extremely penetrating and confident… Becky Tipper’s 'Meeting the Lobster' genuinely takes the reader through a journey of increasing emotional identification..."
- A.L. KENNEDY
"[Becky Tipper's] 'Birth Stories'... is a truly excellent piece of writing... Anybody who has ever trotted out the cliché 'all that matters is a healthy baby' should be made to read this work..."
