Kia ora!

I’m Jane, I’m from Aotearoa New Zealand, and I live in the UK. I’m a former New Zealand representative swimmer and a proud alumna of Washington State University.

I am represented by Sara Langham at David Higham Associates.

In my late teens and early twenties, I held the New Zealand women’s 200m breaststroke record, swimming for Washington State in the NCAA. My work usually focuses on issues of identity, political change and the connection between a sense of place and social outcomes. To date, my work has been featured in or recognised by the publications/contests below.

I am on Twitter at @janemcopland and Instagram as @janecopland.
