Significant.
We have made the decision to formally close our X social media account. Once a vibrant platform to promote the interests of authors, we feel X is no longer a trusted place for balance, community support, and reliable information.

This book documents the devastating impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine & the courage of women as agents of change. Amelina’s legacy is a powerful testament to the sacrifices demanded of those who pursue truth in the face of atrocity. #2025MoorePrize

“In the Faustian battle between hope & despair, Crawshaw leaves us with hope. His is a timely message at a moment when international justice movements are facing an existential threat to their very existence” #2025MoorePrize Jury commented. #HumanRights shortlist

“Although this is about a section of Indian society, it covers many angles of #humanrights. Dixit digs deep into the causes of capitalism, inequality, gender, authoritarianism & violent nationalism in a way that has universal relevance” #2025MoorePrize shortlist

“This was a powerful narrative of how the war interupted ordinary lives in #Ukraine. The writing is vivid and it is completely extraordinary how the collective finished the book after Amelina was killed by a Russian bomb.” #2025MoorePrize shortlist #HumanRights writing.

The Jury said: “Most of the public is not aware of the deep issues surrounding international adoption, particularly in conflict zones. This is a compelling story that has resonance for adoption in other crises.” #2025MoorePrize shortlist #HumanRights

Thank you! — yes difficult & sometimes dangerous, and above all with extraordinary determination to find accountability for worst crimes
Prosecuting the Powerful by @stevecrawshaw.bsky.social turns the lens toward accountability itself, tracing the difficult, dangerous pursuit of justice against those who wield authority without restraint. #2025MoorePrize shortlist #HumanRights

Longlisted for #2025MoorePrize Looking at Women Looking at War by #VictoriaAmelia focuses on the heroic women of the #Ukrainian resistance. A Russian missile took the author’s life before she completed the book. She left behind an incredible account of the ravages of war & the cost of resistance.
