So thrilled that Things I Learned While I Was Dead is a finalist in the People’s Book prize alongside my Faber sister @KenechiUdogu Augmented. It’s decided by the public and if you feel inclined to vote I’d be forever grateful: peoplesbookprize.com/2025-books/thi…

I just found out my new book is not coming out next year it's going to be in 2028. So that means I need people to keep buying my books otherwise they may disappear! I have been supported financially for the past 2 years by the Royal Literary Fund and they have been so brilliant.

Delighted that my novel Running My Own Race has been included in the 2026 Summer Reading Challenge, Read to the Beat. readingagency.org.uk/read-to-the-be…

This is a little embarrassing to admit but January turned out to be my worst ever sales month (and February’s not looking any better) Anyone want a book about a witch who’s crash-landed in the attic & her link to a mysterious government organisation??

I'm so very pleased to share that #Augmented has been longlisted for the @BranfordBoase Award! My two amazing editors, Natasha Brown and Jenny Glencross, were a dream to work with, and I can't thank them enough for helping me dig deep to get Akaego's story right. @FaberBooks

As someone who enjoyed this 4 years ago (it's been that long already?), I highly recommend this! It was a great confidence boost when I was feeling unsure about things. Also made some good friends. Open to unagented writers from underrepresented ethnic groups. @HarperCollinsUK
