Someone has been sending emails impersonating me to authors, suggesting that I want to publish their book at Chatto and offering to put them in touch with a literary agent to negotiate the deal. This isn’t me! Please be aware and check anything that looks suspicious.
It’s very rare I’d cold email an author anyway but if I did it would be from my work email address ending @penguinrandomhouse.co.uk.

"Secrecy, stigma, blame & ignorance run like toxic waste through The Stitch-Up, a fierce polemic about the medical misogyny & gender violence that disfigure healthcare."
Delighted to review @EmmaSzewczak's powerful new book for @ObserverUK.
Courageous, candid & timely.

I loved editing this brilliant book so much. It’s a great psychological drama about group dynamics taken to the extreme. Beautiful cover, congratulations @ScribeUKbooks

I feel absolutely privileged to be working on this book. It is a compassionate and humane way into talking and thinking about the impacts of conflict, and makes a wonderful case for why poetry is so essential to understanding humanity.
