FIND YOUR NEXT FAVOURITE WRITER OF COLOUR WITH BAD FORM

You can find out about books through our print issues (we publish annually, but we’ve already published eleven so there’s lots for you to read through).

Or, if you’re about in London, come to one of our upcoming events (which are a lot less boring than events about books should be).
