Delighted to announce that I’ve been awarded a grant from Arts Council England to work on my next book.
Following a 20 page application about artistic quality, and with supporting letters from some senior (and lovely) people in publishing, the award feels like a massive endorsement of the work I’ve done so far. The money is by the by really; encouragement and a little professional validation are the oxygen here.
Won’t say too much about it now, but I’m very much looking forward to shifting into fiction-mode over the next year.
