This gap between publishing books has been all about giving my time to projects I care about - things like being BookTrust Writer in Residence and championing factual books, being a Jhalak Prize judge, and supporting Jericho Prize + one other project that announces soon!
At this point this has to be the least complicated political conflict in all of our lifetimes.
Thereโs a huge amount of evidence and information available that shows the atrocities being committed.
If you โcanโt speak on itโ itโs cos you really donโt care to or too are afraid to.
Two weeks to go!
Manchester have you booked for this all star line-up yet?
