I am thrilled to announce that I have just been appointed one of two Author Ambassadors by my publishers’ MATADOR. This is a new programme that MATADOR is initiating, choosing two of their writers to occupy this post for 12 months. The purpose of an Author Ambassador is to represent the company, to network, connect and share their experiences with prospective authors as well as to generally endorse and communicate the values and aims of Matador.

In return, Matador is offering a wide range of support and representation for our own work including a display of our books on their stand at the London Book Fair.

The appointment has come as a complete surprise and I am very excited at what the next 12 months will hold as a result of it!
