Yarrow Townsend has reached the Branford Boase Shortlist!

Celebrating the combined efforts of writers and editors in bringing literature to life, #BradfordBoaseAward award has (quite rightly) put local author and October Books bestseller Yarrow Townsend and her editor, Rachel Leyshon, on their shortlist!

We couldn’t be more pleased, having supported Townsend’s wonderful novel The Map of Leaves since it was published!

Good luck on the final round!
