Interview and reading for Lighthouse books

The lovely Noor at Edinburgh’s Lighthouse Bookshop interviewed me about Me, Not You for the ‘Life Raft’ initiative, a ‘digital bookshop refuge’ operating during the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown. It’s a weekly newsletter which consists of author interviews, bookseller recommendations and readings, especially intended to champion working class, BAME, queer, disabled and local writers. You can visit the Life Raft website here – there are some brilliant authors on the list including Lola Olufemi, Golnoosh Nour and Pragya Agarwal and I am honoured to be in their company.

Read my interview with Noor here – it delves a bit deeper into some of the themes of the book as well as exploring why I wrote it and what it feels like to have it out in the world (especially now during the pandemic and lockdown). I also did a short reading of Chapter Six (‘Feminists and the Far Right’) which focuses on trans- and sex-worker-exclusionary feminism – this can be accessed at the end of the interview and I have also linked it below. Hope you enjoy!
