Portrait of Toby William Godden, Welsh writer and musician

Toby William Godden

Writer & Musician (aka Procrastinatrix) — Tawe Valley, Wales

About

I'm a Welsh writer–musician building storyworlds, music, and community infrastructure from the Tawe Valley. I publish and perform as Procrastinatrix, develop the Oliverse narrative spine across film, audio and interactive media, and contribute to local culture through Brecon's Literature Laboratory. I value clarity, craft, fair pay for collaborators, and rootedness in place.
