Delighted to announce this special issue of ARIEL, 'Andrea Levy: In Memoriam'. Henghameh Saroukhani and Sarah Lawson have been wonderful to work with. We think it's a very special piece of work, not least because it includes unpublished material by Levy.

@NugentAshleigh @LJMU Welcome back to @JMUEnglish Ash! Great to be working with you

[Ashleigh Nugent @NugentAshleigh]

It's official. I'm a student again. Doing a PhD by publication at Liverpool John Moores @LJMU. Massive thanks to my supervisors at the uni for supporting me through the application process, and for a boss first meeting this morning. 🤓🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤

@BobbyVylan LOVE this album. When it finally stopped raining today I went out for a walk, found a bench that had a bit of sun shining on it, and just listened (again) to this. And, wow.

A scholarship (tuition fees & stipend) for Black Britons has been set up at Edinburgh University in the name of my late, great friend, the novelist Andrea Levy. Please share. Good luck. 1/2

[Michael Perfect @M_J_Perfect]

@RachelJWillie Hmm, maybe. Lea clearly doesn't work. Luntea?

[Michael Perfect @M_J_Perfect]

@jakephillips Indeed: so much so, in fact, that one of these five *didn't* go to Oxford!

A scholarship (including tuition fees and stipend) for Black Britons to study any course at Edinburgh University has been set up in the name of my late, great friend, the novelist Andrea Levy. More information in the link https://t.co/0xANERlLWd Please share. Good luck

@loisthom @BritishGas Crikey. I'm a mere £350 in credit with British Gas. Glad I caught onto this when I did! But yes, it is robbery really. They make enormous amounts from holding people's money for so long in the way that they do

@AyseCelikkol7 @pfessenbecker We teach Megan Hunter's 'The End We Start From', and it works really well. Would tick all of these boxes, I think

[Michael Perfect @M_J_Perfect]

@ProfJohnMcLeod @BritishGas Thanks John. Think this may be the way to go, because they can't seem to see the problem with their system forecasting that we'll use nearly three times the energy we actually use!
