Happy Publication Day 🤭

My favorite kind of Non-fiction is memoir and this one is so raw and hits all the spots.

Big S/o to @OuidaBooks for an ARC.

On close examination is out and available in bookstores starting today!

A few months ago, I posted about an eighteen-month internship at @ouidabooks for four young women.

Meet our four new publishing interns: Dami, Rere, Mena, and Esther. They will work across editorial, production, marketing, event management, and sales to understand how the different parts of the industry interact. There are mistakes I would not have made in publishing if I had a 360 view. The course will also involve access to the international scene.

Welcome to the team, ladies! I am delighted to be working with you all.

Moving from Berlin nightclub to a Sicilian refugee camp to the London apartment of a Malawian poet, Helon Habila evokes a rich mosaic of migrant experiences.
