The Manchester Anthology

This collection brings together the exciting and varied work of 20 voices from the University of Manchester’s Centre for New Writing.

I am incredibly proud to be featured in The Manchester Anthology 2014. Featuring poetry, short stories and novel extracts, think eclectic styles and diverse themes: from bingo in Bury to frontline action in Afghanistan; from city-centre cinema-going to an impending apocalypse with an idyllic rural backdrop. The prose contributors are inspired by literary fiction, historical novels, travel writing, urban kaleidoscopes and speculative fiction, while four poets offer pieces from six lines to three pages. Including published authors, prize-winners and competition shortlistees, The Manchester Anthology is a melting pot of international talent.
