Stunning piece of work.

Cannot contain my pride and joy at the inclusion of Marchelle Farrell Marchelle Farrell’s stunning memoir UPROOTING on this hugely impressive list. Thank you The Wainwright Prize (and to everyone Canongate (has left) for continuing to give this book such fantastic support).

After our postal rant (postal despair) - some much more fun news: The GBP 2024/25 Short Story Prize will be opening to submissions next Tuesday, and we've got three truly brilliant judges - Clare Pollard, Claire Armitstead, and previous GBP Shortlistee, Mathilde Merouani.

This incredible book by the writer of a generation @StuHennigan tells the story of the place that is rioting tonight. The picture is complicated, avoid the hot take and lean in to your communities. We need each other more than ever

Anyone noticed far fewer bees this year? Does anybody know why? Bit scary…

Having said that, I’ve decided, at least for the time being, to freelance. So, if you know anyone who needs a fiction editor, please send them my way; I can be found at [email protected]…

Fantastic to see Claire's outstanding debut in both the Irish Independent and Irish Times Fiction to Look Out for in 2025. Out in April, SHOW ME WHERE IN HURTS is a 'searingly beautiful' (ty Jennie Godfrey) novel about love, loss and resilience. irishtimes.com/culture/books/…

Claire is a HUGE talent and this has brought me so much joy. What an incredible endorsement for this beautiful, heartbreaking, exquisite novel.

I’m thrilled to announce The Nature of Fashion will be published this September with Chelsea Green Publishing 🌿 This book traces the entwined histories of textiles and plants, exploring how the threads of our past can weave our shared future. Huge thanks to Julia Silk & Muna Reyal!
