With the Academy, they are making the next step in creating the space for a new generation of authors to learn their craft, to develop the skills and to make the connections that they need to become writers. I’m delighted to be supporting this initiative and look forward to seeing these future stars launch their writing careers.“
“I am so delighted to be taking part in the HarperCollins Author Academy as a guest speaker on fiction writing.
I wish something like this had existed when I was starting my author career. It’s brilliant that 90 writers a year will be able to add to their skills and also participate in this industry.“

“The creation of a writing academy, specifically for giving opportunities to underrepresented voices, is an incredibly important initiative. Our society is richly diverse: full of different backgrounds and cultures, and full of untold stories which need to be told. The academy, in helping to nourish a new generation of writers, will undoubtedly discover exciting talent. Having been given the chance to tell my stories, I am privileged and excited to be a part of this vision.“
