Very much looking forward to this. Congratulations to Neil Griffiths for all his work on this important prize. Hard times for small presses so important to get behind them when we can. #litfic #writingcommunity

4) Finally, advice from Neil Griffiths to aspiring authors: 'What you want is a writing life. You may not make enough to live on - but that's not what you want. Live in the world. Write between the cracks.'

Rishi Sunak. What a cunt.

I confess to a bias.

I’m keen to draw a sharp distinction between Hamas and the Palestinian people.

But when I think of Israel I don’t make enough effort to distinguish between the government/military and the population.

But just as Gaza is not Hamas,
Israel is not Netanyahu.

Many thanks to Neil Griffiths for asking me to be one of the judges for this great and important prize.

I am so very happy to have been asked to be one of the judges for the 2024 Republic of Consciousness Prize, along with Sana Goyal Kotecha and Rebecca Abrams
I am really looking forward to the process because the prize is designed to highlight the magnificent work of smaller publishers.

Now I know a lot of you have been wondering about novel(la) word count for some months. It's currently 44524. And this is my last ever polish. ffs.

David Roberts Honoured to be the first to review your book, David. I hope you'll write many more.
