I work alongside Helen Garnons-Williams across Fig Tree’s brilliantly eclectic titles, as well as building my own list.

In both fiction and non-fiction, and in both English and in translation, I’m looking for stylishly written, character-driven stories which engage with real issues and leave you with plenty to think about - whether they happen to be true or not! I’m particularly drawn to writing with a strong sense of place or a distinctive voice. Authors I’m working with at the moment include Chloë Ashby, Roxy Dunn, Martina Hefter, Róisín Lanigan, Grace Murray and Andrev Walden.
