My new book ‘What Was Shakespeare Really Like?’ a pre-publication review! @ShakespeareBT @ShakesInstitute @TheRSC @BSAShakespeare @FolgerLibrary @The_Globe publishersweekly.com/9781009340373

I’ve read a lot of brilliant books this year but I think this might be my favourite so far. Clever, gripping, surprising: all the things you want from dystopian fiction. Out in November @4thEstateBooks @NaomiAllthenews



1/2: A fantastic evening on Monday night as we gathered in Speaker’s House to mark the 400th anniversary of the publication of the First Folio. Thank you to @CommonsSpeaker and his team for hosting us and making us feel welcome.

Big shout out to all the contributing poets of 'Anne-thology: Poems Re-Presenting Anne Shakespeare'. Thank you for your INCREDIBLE poems which are challenging stereotypes and changing perceptions on the 400th anniversary year of Anne's death. @BordersAlliance @ShakesInstitute
