Reader, editor, publisher of Phoenix, an imprint of Orion.
The Wedding People is in the Kindle Monthly Deal this month and quickly rising up the Top 100. If you’re looking for an irresistibly entertaining book with real emotional substance, I can’t recommend it more

I’m so proud to be publishing this extraordinary new book. It’s like nothing I’ve read before. I can’t wait for readers to fall down the rabbit hole and meet the residents of Saltwater Mansions

An amazing piece in The Times today on the power of great fiction and ‘the best debut novel I’ve read in years’ — The Names by @florenceknapp.bsky.social

For the last few years, the latest @janicehallett.bsky.social novel has been the highlight of my Christmas reading and The Examiner is her best yet. So funny and entertaining, ingeniously plotted, surprising at every turn, full of big ideas and warm-hearted despite the darkness. Loved it.

Had a lovely time at the Historical Writers Awards where @emilyhowes.bsky.social was shortlisted for the debut crown, as evidenced by this very wonky photo

Thank you to everyone who made last night’s @orionbooks.bsky.social showcase so special and cheered on our authors — especially my two brilliant debut stars for next year @florenceknapp.bsky.social and @katekemp.bsky.social who spoke beautifully about their novels The Names and The Grapevine
