Season Butler is a writer, artist, dramaturg and lecturer in Performance Studies and Creative Writing. Her art practice explores notions of authorship, authority and version control; the opportunities and traps of hindsight and hope; and what it means to look forward to an increasingly wily future.

Her debut novel, Cygnet, was published in spring 2019 and won the Writer’s Guild 2020 Award for Best First Novel.
