Tamsin Treverton Jones is a published author and librettist. She previously pursued a freelance portfolio arts career as a theatre- festival- and museum-publicist, magazine journalist, radio-broadcaster and community oral historian. Her work lies in the creative space between textbook accounts of history and the remembered experience of those who lived through it. Her published works in this sphere include two oral histories, (Tempus, The History Press), a privately commissioned biography (Becoming Paddy 2008) and Windblown (Hodder and Stoughton 2017), a non- fiction nature memoir marking the 30th anniversary of the Great Storm of 1987.

In 2021 she was commissioned to research and develop a libretto for Thea, a new contemporary opera set on the canals of South Yorkshire, devised by the composer Amanda Johnson, and supported by Arts Council England and Britten Pears Arts. In 2023, she received an ACE grant to develop her skills as a librettist.  Tamsin also works as a creative consultant and researcher on theatre and television projects.
