Word for Freedom anthology launch November 2018

22 October 2018

A couple of months ago, I was delighted to find out that my short story ‘Sayyida Nanda’ about a child-bride had been chosen as part of innovative indie-publisher Retreat West’s call out for stories to celebrate 100 years of women’s suffrage. My story had done the rounds of a few competitions and not made the grade, so it was proof of the subjectivity of the process involved in assessing literary quality; at least two people had thought it was worthy of inclusion whereas that clearly wasn’t the case before!

The Word for Freedom anthology is being published on the 1st November and a week later I’ll be attending the launch party at the Feminist Library in London. AI The Word For Freedom Anthology (4) It’s available to buy from Amazon on Kindle and in paperback. All royalties will go towards supporting the charity Hestia, which supports victims of domestic abuse and  modern slavery.
