Yesterday, I joined an amazing book proposal meeting on zoom with talented authors @preetidhillon.bsky.social, @lucyfulford.bsky.social & Sheela Banerjee.

Their books 📚 sound fascinating!

Great discussion about memoir: do you need a proposal or not?

And last but far from least, working on vital stories at Global Witness around the climate crisis has involved films from the Philippines to Mexico and Argentina, as well as New York Climate Week and COP. With the politics ahead for 2025, this work feels more important than ever 🌎

Speaking of race, I was particularly grateful to be able to speak about some of the history and recent political rhetoric behind the summer's UK race riots on the BBC with
@fuzzorama.bsky.social - a subject which I have a lot more to say on in the future.

A huge thank you to everyone who has had me speak at events, from Byline Festival and WriteIdea Festival to community events from Hackney to Bristol - it's been so rewarding to have much needed conversations about race and empire. @stephencolegrave.bsky.social @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social

Saying goodbye to a twisty-turny 2024! Highlights include The Exiled's gorgeous new paperback look, speaking at festivals, bookshops, libraries and even my university, and working on films about the climate crisis for Global Witness 🌎📚🎥

WriteIdea Festival is tomorrow, I'll be speaking with Sheela Banerjee about telling big histories through the personal at 4pm – do come along – it's free! Register here for us and loads of brilliant authors over the weekend: www.ideastore.co.uk/whats-on/wri...
