I still can't believe that I get to do this, but: my first novel in English, a psychological thriller, is coming to you at @AAKnopf via the brilliant @Tim_OConnell!

This is also a chance to announce that I'm now represented by the fantastic @Stephen_Barbara at @Inkwellmgmt.

I'm so grateful to be on this magnificent list, and to the judges, who I don't envy at all for having to make these decisions -- every one of the longlisted books and authors are outstanding.

Best interview ever! #fuckingdelight

[Lulu NYT @LuluGNavarro]

[Lulu NYT @LuluGNavarro]

I’ll be thinking a lot about the things @laurenthehough said in our interview. One thing she noted about the absence of the voices of working class people...(more)

I am a lucky editor.
