Tall Tales with Poppy Nwosu

STORYTIME: I signed a contract for my second YA fiction book!

17/6/2019

So..... 2019 is shaping up into quite a freaking awesome year for me!

In 2019, my very first book came out, Making Friends with Alice Dyson, and it was shortlisted for the Readings 2019 YA Book Prize (so amazing!) and I was also recently awarded a residency to spend a whole week writing at Varuna!!!!

And now, I have also signed a contract with the lovely people at Wakefield Press for my second YA novel, Taking Down Evelyn Tait!

I am so excited to bring this story out into the world in 2020, and also so grateful that life has been so kind to me lately!
My biggest takeaway from all this is that persistence is more important than talent, and hard work pays off!! :)
Don't give up!
:)
