I am super excited to announce the publication of my first book by IW Press Ltd. The launch date is 25th Feb 2021. You are cordially invited to the launch party.
The book is a compilation of short personal essays and fiction, written over a five-week period during a Method Writing class with Jules Swales. Jack Grapes, the architect of Method Writing, says of this book, “The writers in this book speak as human beings, as all of us, caught in this thing we call life, a shimmering kind of experience between our being born and our passing away. If you’re hungry, this book will feed and nourish your heart.”
To reflect the international diversity of the authors, there is a UK and a US launch. It would be brilliant to see you there.
