Work


Stripe's writing is rooted in the non-fiction novel form and explores working-class culture, untold histories of Northern England, popular music, and small-town life.

Black Teeth and a Brilliant Smile, her debut novel, was based on the life and work of Bradford playwright Andrea Dunbar.[2] The novel was shortlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize[3] and the Portico Prize.[4] A stage adaptation by Freedom Studios and screenwriter Lisa Holdsworth toured across Yorkshire in 2019.[5]

Ten Thousand Apologies is her recent biography of cult UK band Fat White Family. It is a collaborative work with lead singer Lias Saoudi. The book traces the group's origins from working-class Huddersfield to Algeria, via sectarian Northern Ireland and the squats of south London. Writing in the Observer, Miranda Sawyer described it as a 'bleak, funny and compelling biography.'[6]

As a journalist, Stripe has written features on theatre, film, literature and music for The Quietus, Yorkshire Post and Caught by the River.

In 2006, alongside Tony O'Neill and Ben Myers she formed possibly the first literary movement spawned via a social networking site, the Brutalists.[7] She has published three chapbook collections of poetry with Blackheath Books, including Dark Corners of Land.[8] The Humber Star, her poem based on the experiences of women in 19th century Hessle Road, was performed at John Grant's North Atlantic Flux, for Hull UK City of Culture 2017.[9]


Personal life


Stripe grew up in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, and attended Tadcaster Grammar School. A former window dresser and factory worker, she moved to East London and became a music programmer on Brick Lane. Her early stories and poems were published on blogs and local fanzines, and were developed via Chuck Palahniuk's online writing forum, The Cult. She studied Creative Writing as a mature student at the University of Greenwich and University of Manchester.[10] Her PhD thesis on Andrea Dunbar, non-fiction novels and contemporary northern literature was awarded by the University of Huddersfield in 2017.[11] She is married to the author Ben Myers.[12]
