Pitch the author as part of a smart regional fiction conversation: Birmingham/UK identity, contemporary women’s lives, and commercial fiction rooted outside London. Useful for North West outlets, indie bookshops, and literary event programmers.
Manchester Literature Festival lists a 2026 programme and demonstrates an active regional literary ecosystem, though this specific title is a launch-season pitch rather than a confirmed event booking. Use as a regional media framework, not a hard-date event claim.
