Two pieces of news: 1) I’m writing a book! 2) The book (Friday Night Chicken) just shortlisted for the Jane Grigson Trust Award! I’m totally bowled over, and feeling very honoured. Huge thanks to the judges, and congrats Felicity Spector and Poppy Okotcha, whose inspiring books I can't wait to read!

I represent non-fiction and have very broad taste. You can write about filing your tax return and if it's brilliant - I'm in. It's all about the craft but obviously the concept is key too. Here's some insight into pitching non-fiction projects to us:

Feels nice to be trying something new, and hopefully better - blue skies ahead… My potted bio: I’m a historian of modern Britain, with a passion for the British mining industry. Also mum to two under 10s, and a part-time charity worker for Headway NW. Former Research Manager of Imperial War Museum.
