For @thebookseller's debuts feature, I interviewed Lucy Steeds about her first novel, The Artist, a brooding tale of secrets and subversion set over a stifling Provençal summer in 1920 @johnmurrays.

I interviewed @Liz_A_Harris about her timely debut novel, How to Sleep at Night, a comedy of manners about a gay family divided by politics when one father runs for Congress - as a Republican. @thebookseller @BoroughPress

And finally, I loved Lucy Steeds’ accomplished historical debut, The Artist @johnmurrays @thebookseller.

Next up in my @thebookseller editor’s choices is the smart and entertaining Death of the Author @Nnedi @gollancz.

This chilling portrait of coercive control - and the immense strength of will required to leave an abusive relationship - held me utterly transfixed. @Roisin_ODonnell @ScribnerUK

My next @thebookseller editor’s choice for January is The Persians @sanam1 @4thEstateBooks.

My first @thebookseller editor’s choice for January is The Day of the Roaring by Nina Bhadreshwar @Hemlock_Press

My preview of January’s new fiction is in the current @thebookseller, including Catherine Airey’s impressive debut, my book of the month, Confessions @VikingBooksUK

Great to speak to @FancyEliza⁩ about her genre-gobbling first short story collection, She’s Always Hungry, going viral on Tiktok, and the industry challenges writers face, plus other tasty morsels ⁦@thebookseller⁩ ⁦@FaberBooks⁩

Very lucky to interview Alan Hollinghurst about his brilliant new novel, Our Evenings, a literary highlight of 2024, for @thebookseller @picadorbooks.

January will be my last fiction preview before the brilliant @Laurenrbrown95 steps in to cover my maternity leave.

And last but not least, this is the first novel by Izumi Suzuki to be translated into English, courtesy of @VersoBooks @thebookseller.

Tessa Hadley's new coming-of-age novella is, of course, a treat @JonathanCape @vintagebooks @thebookseller.

Look out for Curtis Garner's literary debut, Isaac @VERVE_Books @thebookseller.

I also enjoyed this debut psychological thriller from @emmacook100, You Can't Hurt Me @orionbooks @thebookseller.

My editor's choices for November's new fiction are the first short-story collection from @FancyEliza, She's Always Hungry @FaberBooks @thebookseller.

I preview November's new fiction in today's @thebookseller. Highlights include The Proof of My Innocence by @jonathancoe @VikingBooksUK.

@AlexPeakeTom Yes, it's very well done. Not a relaxing read! But a powerful one.
