She’s a cover girl! I am so excited for the unstoppable @gracerosewalker, debut author of The Merge and @_thebookseller certified emerging star ✨

“I fell completely into The Merge. Pacy, clever and genuinely frightening, it takes on huge ideas about identity, autonomy and what we owe each other, while keeping intimate human relationships at its heart. I couldn’t stop thinking about it long after I’d finished. A hugely deserving winner.” - @joshsilverauthor

“The Merge is an excellent novel, an expert balancing act between emotive and speculative elements, as well as human relationships and big ideas about the kind of future we may walk blindly into. Grace Walker’s writing moved me, but more importantly challenged me to think deeper about widening financial inequality, the environment and the lives which society values over others. I’m so happy that The Merge has won this year’s New Adult Book Prize.” - @nicoladinan by @gracerosewalker

Here goes! The beginning of life as a full-time writer! Something I’ve worked towards for almost a decade. It feels completely surreal.

I’m giving myself a year of writing to find out whether it’s as joyful when it becomes my actual job… and whether I can cope without colleagues.

Here’s to 365 days of finding out. I’m so excited 😭 by @gracerosewalker
