WOTF41 is out now – go buy your copy!

WOTF41 release day!

Dial your excitement up to 11 because you can now go and buy your very own copy of Volume 41 of Writers of the Future from bookshops across the US and Canada (and online and ebooks too), which features my story “The Stench of Freedom”, as well as the amazing stories from my cohort. You won’t be disappointed.

Check out the awesome illustration by John Barlow below – does that not make you want to go and find out what it’s all about?

The release date for the UK and rest of the world is 18 June 2025.

I’m working on a blog post or two (or more) to capture my amazing week in Hollywood at the Writers of the Future workshops, but my mind is still recovering from the experience and all the information it has tried (hopefully not in vain) to retain. Until then, here’s a photo of me accepting my award at the awards gala – proof it wasn’t all a dream!
