I set up ClassNature five years ago to burst the stereotype of what it means to be a Nature Writer - less of the posh white bloke, more of everybody else 👊🏾x Partners Octopus Publishing Hachette UK Sponsors Arvon Campaign for National Parks thebookseller.com/news/the-natur…
Resilience is not a thing you're gifted at birth or something that can be learnt, it's a thing you manifest to galvanise yourself from life's punches. Settle in for a wild 1hour ride as I chat to Jen Scotney about UNDERCURRENT - Out 11.04 with Hodder & Stoughton podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/res…
You know when you're a creative kid & your parents pay for music lessons, or at uni you spend your spare time painting cus you don't have to work or at 30 you get your book reviewed in the paper cus your dad went to uni with the editor? Being #WorkingClass is the opposite of that
I read loads of books by #WorkingClass writers & what I've noticed is there's many incredible female writers whose books get sidelined cus society still feels uncomfortable with their stories of hardship, whilst men get revered for grit, women are still told to shut that shit up
That's a wrap! Massive thanks to The London Book Fair, 11-13 March 2025 for taking diversity in publishing seriously & inviting me & ClassFestival to #LBF24 for the week - big love to Gareth, Mariana and the team RX and all the incredible The London Book Fair, 11-13 March 2025 volunteers - see you next year folks x
This photo of me pretty much sums up this afternoon's panel The London Book Fair, 11-13 March 2025 on diversity and inclusion - seems I've become a spokesperson for every single women working in publishing, fine by me, bring it on!
Looking forward to being interviewed by ITV News this morning and hitting the main stage The London Book Fair, 11-13 March 2025 this afternoon and JUST IN TIME cus the paperback for #UndercurrentBook has just arrived! Blake Friedmann Literary Agency
If you're The London Book Fair, 11-13 March 2025 today don't forget to swing by the main stage @ 3.15pm where I'll be chatting all things Inclusivity and diversity in publishing x #LBF24 Blake Friedmann Literary Agency
