I’m beyond grateful to have been awarded a Northern Debut Award for Fiction from @NewWritingNorth — thank you to everyone at NWN, @NorthumbriaUni, @ace_national, and judges @rachelpmann and @AHicksonLovence 🫶🏻💐🏆
.@BethLucy wins a Northern Debut Award for Fiction!
"Receiving support from an organisation so committed to platforming stories and voices not yet heard in the mainstream is especially meaningful as this is everything I aim to do with my fiction."

Nice to read the first pages of 3rd placed EBONIE WOODHEAD IS NOT A WITCH at the #stockholmwritersfestival. It was great to hear winner @BethLucy read from SCOUSE GRAFFITI too and to be transported a little to Liverpool. Thanks to @StockholmWriter @catpett for a fun day.
Thrilled to be on my way to Stockholm Writers Festival where I’ll be reading from my winning novel entry, and spending a weekend among so many books & wonderful people I can’t wait to meet… ✈️🇸🇪📚 @StockholmWriter

So pleased to have graduated Faber Academy. It was a joy to celebrate our anthology launch last night and hold part of what we’ve materialised since September — an enchanting feeling (one only books can give) to wrap your fingers around thought, imagination, worlds.

It’s #IndieBookshopWeek in the UK so we thought we’d jump on the bandwagon and share the love for Stockholm’s indie bookshops! 💜
