By Sonya Hale, Annie Fox and Tatty Hennessy
()
About this ebook
Set in Croydon, South London, Dean McBride by Sonya Hale is a vivid and poetic story of deprivation, loss and redemption through love, which tells the story of Dean, a young man hardened by suffering, who struggles in life before finding his way back to happiness.
A university professor is caught in a storm when an image of her in a changing room is shared online. Exploring how images of women are represented in art and social media, Annie Fox's Woman Caught Unaware is a searing examination of the culture of body-shaming.
Depicting a teenage girl's solo journey to the North Pole with her father's ashes, A Hundred Words for Snow by Tatty Hennessy is a complex, epic and undulating story that pitches themes of death and rebirth against a shifting backdrop of climate change, exploration and the uncertain geography of the North.
This collection includes a foreword from actor and playwright Lolita Chakrabarti, one of the judges of the competition, which was organised by Heretic Productions.
