20 BLACK BRITISH AUTHORS
20 BOOKS IN ONE YEAR
Introducing Twenty in 2020, a year-long project from Jacaranda Books in association with Words of Colour Productions.
Following a hugely popular call-out for unpublished Black British writers, independent publisher Jacaranda has picked twenty top submissions to publish over the course of 2020. The first time a UK publisher has published twenty Black British writers in one year, the Twenty in 2020 books cover literary fiction, poetry, memoir, history, romance and more, and together work to add to the diversity of literature, characters and authors available to UK readers—and to inspire a whole new generation of readers, writers and publishing professionals.
“My past ambushed me as if I was unsuspecting prey; threatening to crumble all falsehood. It was a corpse rising to the surface bloated with secrets, decomposing flesh peeling away reluctantly, sinew still clinging in the final attempt to hide the truth...
And all it took was one little wedding invitation.”
