About Me
Welcome! I am a writer with eclectic interests, but I have a particular love of short stories.
I’ve written about and reviewed short fiction – both old and new – for publications including Slightly Foxed, Hortus and The Short Story. My short stories have won the Bridport Prize and a UK Society of Authors’ Tom-Gallon Award, and my fiction and creative non-fiction has appeared in literary magazines such as Prole, FlashBack Fiction, Literary Mama and The Honest Ulsterman.
As a sociologist, I've also conducted qualitative research about various topics and, more recently, have co-written a book about how storytelling and fiction can be used in academic research.
"[Becky Tipper's 'The Rabbit' is] an immediately likeable story, beautifully crafted, elegantly written with all the arts of a born storyteller... A writer of real promise."

"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..."
