Hello world! We're Folding Rock - a new magazine for the best Welsh and Wales-based writing, launching with our first issue in March 2025... Watch this space 👀

Thanks to the Fox and Firkin, Lewisham for lending me their spacious pub garden for a glam spontaneous literary photoshoot xx

Hey friends - if you're at a loss for something to do at quarter to seven this evening, tune in to hear more about our new magazine 😁

We want to say a big thanks for all the support and encouragement that we've had so far - and for everyone's lovely responses to our announcement last week. Like Natalie, we are so glad to be here and part of a genuinely exciting time for Welsh writing and publishing. Onwards!

Delighted to say that Joshua Jones | Local Fires's incredible Local Fires (@parthianbooks) continues to pick up the plaudits, this time a shortlisting for the Polari Prize First Book Prize! Congrats, Josh (and fellow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @RachelCDawson)! #polariprize

Publishing people! The excellent Robert Harries and I are going to be at the Frankfurt Book Fair this year, representing our shiny new Folding Rock Magazine. If you're there too and want to connect, chat, or simply say hi, drop me a line :)
