Just a quick update to say I’m delighted that In Darkling Wood has been selected from a MEGA longlist to be on the shortlist for the Shrewsbury Book Festival Book Award 2016.
The other shortlisted books are scarily brilliant so this might be the last WOOHOO I make on the subject- apart from to cheer on whoever wins! You can read all about the shortlist here: http://www.shrewsburybookfest.co.uk/book-award-2016-shortlist/4591259420

congratulations for making the shortlist! In Darkling Wood deserves to be up there! xxx
Thanks my lovely! x
I’m currently reading it and loving it… so well deserved! I am an English and Drama teacher- hoping to use it as a stimulus for a improvised play next term- hope you approve!
Hi Annabel
What a lovely comment- thank you! I’m thrilled to hear you might be using IDW in school. Best of luck! In the meantime, enjoy your very well-deserved Xmas break. Happy Christmas! Emma
