Not for me so much as for books I have edited or proofread. But still… fame! Fortune! [ahem]. Also, I am heading off on a writing retreat. Just me and my ideas. And pastries. And tea.
Please see my updated Fiction and Nonfiction pages – I’ve added loads – and more to come – including my latest short stories, and nonfiction books I’ve written and edited.
Oprah, no joke
A series of books I proofed has become an Oprah choice! Listed on her ‘Favorite Things of 2023’, the My Art Book series, published by Phaidon, is aimed at young children (but great for all ages) and features topics such as ‘Love’ and ‘Friendship’ with poetic pairings of words and artworks.
THIS BOOK WILL SAVE THE PLANET
… has won an award! The INTERNATIONAL LITERACY ASSOCIATION AWARD-WINNER – 2023 Social Justice Literature Award Honor Book – Non-fiction Book Category… So proud of this book that I project edited. It has had fantastic reviews as well – even angering climate deniers, which I see as a case of pressing the right buttons to make people think. Well done to the brilliant activist and author Dany Sigwalt, and illustrator Aurélia Durand; published by Frances Lincoln (imprint of Quarto Group).
Smithsonian Magazine Top Ten Books of 2023
Not one but two books that I worked on made this list – both from the excellent Phaidon Kids…
Shana Gozansky’s My Art Book of Adventure – also one of Oprah’s 2023 faves – and Superpowered Animals by Soledad Romero Marino. So proud!
