It's lovely to hear the authors shortlisted for the Sunday Times Young Writer Award talk about their work. Here's Scott Preston, author of The Borrowed Hills.

While you're here, have another look at the fantastic books shortlisted for this year's Young Writer Award!

So touched and thrilled about this, from the wonderful Marian Keyes. 🥰

Very grateful to have this beautiful starred review from PW (Publishers Weekly) for my new novel, out summer 2025. LOVE FORMS is about families, motherhood, and the long-lasting effects of adoption. Out from Faber (UK) this June, and Hogarth (USA) in July.

Such a stunning location for a writing retreat! Link below.

'I rarely cry, but I howled. This is a standout novel.' Marian Keyes Love Forms is the heart-aching new novel from Claire Adam, where a mother searches for a daughter she left behind a lifetime ago. Out 19 June: linktr.ee/loveforms 🌸🌺
