Q&A with ISIS Publishing

The audio book of Attend is released on 1 May. In the build-up, I took part in this Q&A with the team at ISIS Publishing, who have made such a great job of recording, editing and producing the book.

Read on for some insights into how and why I wrote the book…

Born and bred in south London – and not the Somerset village with which I share a name – I worked as an editor in higher education and business before turning my attention to the arts and publishing.

I have worked as a book and arts journalist, and was editor at Dalkey Archive Press, where I edited the Best European Fiction 2015 anthology, before moving to new press Orenda Books just after its launch.

I currently combine my work as editor at Orenda with editing the European Literature Network’s #RivetingReviews. I am also the editor of the Network’s print magazine, The Riveter.

I have written several short scripts, which have been produced in London’s fringe theatres, and was longlisted for the Old Vic’s 12 playwrights project.

My debut novel, Attend, was shortlisted for the Polari Prize in 2019. My new novel, Fall was published by Orenda Books in December 2021.
