Utterly thrilled that my book BOTTLED GOODS has reached the longlist stage of the Republic of Consciousness Prize! The prize ‘rewards the best fiction published by publishers with fewer than 5 full-time employees.’ It was founded in 2017 by novelist Neil Griffiths, and it’s supported by ACE, The Times Literary Supplement and the University of East Anglia. And it’s certainly a huge highlight for small publishers, and their authors. I’m absolutely honoured to find BOTTLED GOODS on the list with so many beautiful books!
