Del Hughes is a Swansea native and eternal optimist. She completed an MA in Creative Writing in 2021 and began writing for Nation.Cymru shortly after. She won ‘Feature Writer/Columnist of the Year’ at the 2023 & 2024 Wales Media Awards, where she was described as a ‘fresh voice in Welsh journalism.'


Retired early due to a snarly spine, her working life was spent coercing disaffected teens into feigning an appreciation of Shakespeare and Ada Lovelace, apart from a stint in Estonia, where she learned how to clean, load, and precisely shoot a Makarov pistol, as well as the secret to drinking a litre of neat vodka without getting smashed. (Hint: Both require meticulous breath control.)

She now devotes herself to meandering around Wales in her elderly Kangoo, writing about her eclectic experiences. She shares an inconceivably narrow house with two lurchers, an irascible Yorkshireman, and a hefty inferiority complex. She is a lifelong fan of Frazzles and French Fancies.
