YA listing

Could not be more stoked to have the news that the YA novel I wrote over lockdown last year made the long-list of 12 out of over a hundred entries for the Michael Gifkins Unpublished Novel Competition. It's my second time in this position, having also had Some Things the English, the novel that placed second in the Dundee International Book Prize, in the long-list in the inaugural comp.

Some things

Some Things the English made the longlist of the Michael Gifkins Prize for an Unpublished Novel!

"This was the inaugural year for this prize and we received 182 applications. We congratulate you on achieving the longlist for this prize. The selectors commented that: ‘the selection revealed an extraordinary diversity of writing and an enviable depth of talent. It was a difficult process to arrive at our shortlist of three novels.’"
