With two amazing women who changed my life— my superstar agents Hillary Jacobson of CAA and Lucy Morris of Curtis Brown. They took a chance on River East, River West when it was a word doc in an email, and now here we are at the Women's Prize for Fiction. So much ❤️ for you both.
Congratulations to all of the brilliant women shortlisted for the Women's Prize. We are so proud to have participated for the second year in a row🥳
Also a HUGE CONGRATIONS to V.V. (Sugi) Ganeshananthan, Brotherless Night is a masterpiece ❤️🧡
