What's Inside This Issue
- Valerie Brandes - Cover Story
Valerie Brandes loves to say that she is 'Just a Black girl from Hackney.' However, she is so much more than that.
She has a passion for telling Black British stories and other diverse stories. Her commitment has led her from the UK to the USA and back and ultimately led her to set up Jacaranda Books resulting in awards, accolades and associations.
One of those awards was as a result of an innovative campaign; Twenty in 2020, where she set out to publish 20 Black authors in 2020, a feat that has never been done before or since. The result was being named, Small Press of the Year at the British Book Awards in that year.
Since launching their first title in 2014 and over 70 other titles since then, we get the impression that Valerie and her young and vibrant team are just getting started on her mission to procure and promote brilliant diverse literature.
