We honour Stephen S. Thompson, gifted novelist, brilliant screenwriter, sensitive editor and publisher, an incredibly diligent and dedicated judge of Jhalak Prize 2022, and a kind and generous colleague and friend. Much missed, never forgotten.

Rest in Power.

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Stephen S. Thompson - a brilliant screenwriter who won a TV BAFTA for Single Drama 'Sitting in Limbo' and was nominated for Emerging Talent: Fiction in 2021. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.

A lovely article on reclaiming names. <3

Here’s a lovely, brave article about why it’s never too late to change your name, if the one you are known by feels wrong. As an adopted child, I identify strongly w this & started shyly a few yrs ago writing fiction under my birthname. We all deserve to like the pegs we hang by.

What's in a name?
A touching and thought provoking article from
Camilla Balshaw.

Here’s a little thing I’ve written about first names.

This is such a funny article by Camilla Balshaw. Worth a read!

“What does a Camilla look like?” I asked. They replied, “Red-haired. Pale-skinned. Freckles. Celtic-looking. Wears tweed. Likes Enya. They don’t look like you.”

LOVE this piece from Camilla Balshaw!
(and loved chatting to her about it, so I'm 100% biased)

Lovely article by Camilla Balshaw,
which may strike a chord with the care-experienced who have used different names over time.
