Hello,
It is my very great pleasure to announce that Crow Court has been included in the longlist of ten debut novels for the Desmond Elliott Prize 2021. I'm told this is the first time Unbound have seen a book of their own in this competition, so much as I am pleased for myself, I'm also delighted for Rachael, John Mitchinson, DeAndra, Alex, Illona and all the Unbound team. They're having a ball with Musa Okwonga's 'One of them' being published today and splashed all over the front of the Guardian and having 'Crow Court' hitting the news too is sending them dizzy, I think.
The longlist features some lovely looking titles, some of which I was already looking forward to, but all of which look fascinating. I'm very proud that 'Crow Court' is among them, so thanks again for your backing and support.
