We're so delighted that @adamjfarrer has won the 2

We're so delighted that @adamjfarrer has won the 2021 #NorthBound Book Award for his outstanding memoir in essays, #ColdFishSoup. It's funny but covers serious terrain. It's about a crumbling #Yorkshire seaside resort (at least, the cliffs are crumbling) and the people who live there. It's about Adam's family – they've Got Talent – and it's about growing up, swimming in the North Sea, contemplating the birds, playing in a band, and facing up to life's big questions. And more. We can't wait to publish it. Congratulations, Adam!

In celebration of #NorthernAuthorsDay we thought we'd get to know debut author, and winner of the 2020 #NorthBoundAward, John D. Rutter, a bit better as part of our #FiveMinutesWith series.

His debut, Approval, follows would-be parents David and Cici through a series of forays into the past as they go through the motions of applying to adopt a child. It's a provocative work of literature that draws the reader into the judgment process.

Out 26 August 21.

Introducing LAKELAND WILD. From the @highlandbookprize, @wainwrightprize and @saltiresociety listed author Jim Crumley.

The Lake District is one of our busiest national parks. Many people believe that wildness is long gone from the fells, lakes, tarns and becks, yet, within its boundaries, Jim Crumley sets out to prove them wrong – to find “a new way of seeing and writing about this most seen and written about of landscapes”.

“Notions of spirit of place thread through the book ... soulful but resisting the ethereal.” Cumbria Life Magazine BOOK OF THE MONTH

This beautiful book is out now 📚.

Join us on Thursday 17 June at 7pm to hear Jim Crumley discuss the book with fellow nature writer Karen Lloyd. Online and free to watch. Link in bio to register.

🚲 "Cycling along, the interior landscape changing faster than the topography. Memory and dreams whipping themselves into daymares. A much-loved country became almost subconsciously foreign, unfamiliar, the spring sun hot and dangerous, close friends distant. The weight of all that’s remembered."

Chris Dolan is discussing journeys, inside and out, with Kieran Cunningham this afternoon at Aye Write Glasgow's Book Festival. Adventures, mental health, the power of nature and exercise memoir and his memoir Everything Passes, Everything Remains.

UK book launch of SHOCKED EARTH, the timely enviro $UK book launch of SHOCKED EARTH, the timely environmental novel by acclaimed Dutch author Saskia Goldschmidt. Join us for an evening of readings and conversation with Dutch author Saskia Goldschmidt and translator Antoinette Fawcett, hosted by author Helen Sedgwick. They will be discussing Goldschmidt's latest novel, Shocked Earth, translated from Dutch by Fawcett – covering themes such as the danger of gas extraction/fracking, the neglect of rural communities and the generational and geographical divides that separate us. And, of course, the writing and translation process. The event will take place on YouTube and is free to attend. Links will be sent to attendees the day before. Register via link in bio. In Shocked Earth, Saskia Goldschmidt investigates what it means to have your identity intensely entwined with your place of birth and your principles at odds with your closest kin. And how to keep standing when the world as you know it is slowly falling apart. #virtualbooklaunch #northernbooks #environmentalfiction #translatedfiction #literarytranslation #bookevents #shockedearth #familysaga #womenintranslation #indiepublishing$
