Debut Event

We’re  delighted that Jenn Ashworth’s first novel, A Kind of Intimacy, has been shortlisted for the Guardian’s Not the Booker prize.

Jenn won our Best Writing on a Blog award two years ago for the excellent Every Day I Lie a Little. She went on to publish her novel and is now returning this year to headline the blog awards Oct 21. She’ll read from her recent work on the night and chat with us about writing and blogging, with some time for questions from the audience. She’s also on this year’s judging panel, and is currently reading through all the fine blogs on the shortlist.

But back to the Not the Booker. You can vote for her to win this prize by leaving a comment here. It only takes a minute. But don’t delay; voting is closing at midday tomorrow. Go Jenn!
