She is actively involved in research, publication, and editorial reviewing.
Education:
- Lancaster University (completed 1992)

Her research centers on the relationship between music and text, especially in operatic contexts, the literary role of women in urban settings, and the short story form. She has a deep interest in figures such as Myfanwy Piper and Jean Rhys, and her work often explores themes of domesticity, voice, and creative collaboration. Knight is currently developing an historical novel set in postwar Germany.
Her recent publications show a consistent engagement with opera, literary recovery, and feminist reinterpretation. Topics include honour-based violence, the ethics of appropriation in creative practice, and the staging of literary voices.
