Biography

A book I wish more people knew about

What I know to be true

• "There is no such thing as the ‘voiceless’ -- there are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard, in Arundhati Roy’s unforgettable words."
• "Much of the writing that really matters, and will endure, has come from writers outside, excluded from or in opposition to the mainstream structures of the publishing industry."
• "Publishing is always a collective process, but it has to begin with individual passion, belief and optimism. (Pessimists make terrible publishers.)"
