Exciting news today – my editor Annalie Grainger and I have been longlisted for the Branford Boase Award 2016! It’s such an unbelievably cool honour, and I can absolutely confirm that Annalie deserves it for the hard work she put into The Next Together with me.

Annalie is nominated not only as an editor, but an author, for her own 2015 debut novel Captive. Superstar, or what? You can read an interview I did with Annalie about her editing process here.

The shortlist is announced in May, so keep your fingers crossed for us. Here is the rest of the longlist. Congratulations to all of the other nominees!
