WINNER ANNOUNCED: Huge congratulations to Glennis Virgo for winning our inaugural Debut Writers Over 50 Award with Vile Apparel, a glorious world building novel set against the rich fabric of 16th-century Bologna where a young woman seamstress fights for justice and her ambitions in a male-dominated world.

I'll be talking about my book and the war in Ukraine live on BBC World Service tomorrow morning, 8.30am BST. Really looking forward to this one.
The @ObserverUK just called it 'a luminous love letter' and we couldn't be more excited to host @jm_stout to chat about Night Train to Odesa in just over a month. Join us to celebrate this wonderfully written book, full of vivid lyrical passages.
