@RuthGilligan @AtlanticBooks @CWAgencyUK Great review!

[Ellen Wiles @ellenwiles]

River stories are in the news a lot just now. If you’re in London & you’d like to hear an immersive fictional river story told by a river, a sheep, a beaver, an alder tree, some lichen, a fish, a skylark, a dragonfly & a couple of humans, please come! ⬇️

@claresitafisher @saltpublishing Ooh it looks brilliant, well done! I’m excited to read it 🌝

[Ellen Wiles @ellenwiles]

The Animals exhibition is great — sounds from the humpback whale to the extinct Kauaʻi ʻōʻō bird as well as exquisite images & illustrations including a monkfish-monk and tardigrade explorers. Great opp to visit ⬇️

had absolutely incredible time seeing Daisy Hildyard in conversation with @ellenwiles last night. Daisy has just won the @RSLiterature prize and I can’t wait to delve more into her work. Thanks to @TheLitPlatform Fest for such an incredible evening.

[Ellen Wiles @ellenwiles]

I’ve been thinking a lot about humans as animals & interconnectedness — Daisy Hildyard writes phenomenally about this in her novel Emergency @FitzcarraldoEds and I’m v excited to interview her tomo @explodingbakery #exeter as part of @TheLitPlatform fest
