I'm thrilled to be the 2026 recipient of the Flora Nwapa Literary Society Award. I'm honoured to be given an award that honours the first African woman ever published. I'm also stoked beyond belief as the award was also given to one of my household goddesses, Toni Morrison.

A few months ago, I posted about an eighteen-month internship at @ouidabooks for four young women. Meet our four new publishing interns: Dami, Rere, Mena, and Esther. They will work across editorial, production, marketing, event management, and sales to understand how the different parts of the industry interact. There are mistakes I would not have made in publishing if I had a 360 view. The course will also involve access to the international scene. Welcome to the team, ladies! I am delighted to be working with you all.

"The room is filled with a foreign softness; it makes you uncomfortable. A menagerie of plush toys lines the inside of the crib. A shaggy carpet captures your footprints as you move across it. Even the lamp emanates a light so soft it barely casts shadows.

In my hands: delighted to receive a super-advance copy of Adam Ouston’s second novel, Mine, in a glorious hardcover edition from @transitlounge2! Not out till August, but a signal event in OzLit, methinks, composed as it is in a single sentence…
