THE BRANFORD BOASE AWARD 2023 LONGLIST

We’re celebrating having two of our authors and their debut novels for children on the Branford Boase Award 2023 longlist: Ann Sei Lin for Rebel Skies, and Andy Jones for Wishes Come in Threes. They are longlisted with their editors Gráinne Clear and Non Pratt, respectively. 

From the Brandford Boase Awards website: “The Branford Boase Award is given annually to the author of the year’s outstanding debut novel for children. It has a notable record in picking out the most talented authors at the start of their career. Past winners and shortlisted authors have included Siobhan Dowd, Meg Rosoff, Frank Cottrell Boyce and Patrick Ness as well as Frances Hardinge, Philip Reeve and most recently Maisie Chan. Uniquely, the Branford Boase Award also honours the editor of the winning title and highlights the importance of the editor in nurturing new talent.”

Huge congratulations to Ann and Andy!
