Hello!
I’m Accalia (ah-kay-lee-ah), a recent English Graduate with a continuing curiosity for storytelling in different formats. I was formerly the Opinion Editor at Orbital Magazine and love spending time delving into research on current affairs & politics among other topics.
On my blog you’ll find a range of writings from personal projects and travel to book, film & theatre reviews, plus poetry on Sundays.
If you have any suggestions of topics or tips for projects you’d like me to write please drop me a message – I’d love to hear from you!

A Poetry Collection: In Our Time
The world is reopening its shops, pubs and other gathering spaces again and with them a moment in time comes to a close. With this in mind, I have been releasing a poem a day, each one my responses to the times as they unfolded- beginning back to March as lockdown was about to begin to the present moments of anger and injustice.
- Fact or Fiction: a look at the effect that technology has on the information we are getting and being wary in a world of ‘fake news’.
“With our busy lives we tend not to have the time to check the facts, we just assume and trust that the information we are provided with is true”
Fact or Fiction
- Reading In Lockdown: 5 hopeful books. Reading is often used to console during times of crisis to escape and to envision a time that will be better. These are my top five – what are yours to keep you entertained and hopeful during lockdown?
“The World is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater”
J. R. R. TOLKIEN, The Fellowship Of the Ring
- Film Reviews… the most recent film I saw at the cinema was ‘The True History of the Kelly Gang’ directed by Justin Kerzel. It was a really unique film that makes you aware of its fictitious nature – read more here. Out 22nd June to watch at home!
