The Jhalak Prize is exactly this for me. When I begin to despair, the projects remind me that we can DO something that matters
A reminder that one sure-fire way to push back against the sea of hopelessness and horror is to find a cause you can contribute to with your time and/or resources, if that’s an option for you. Personally I find it’s most beneficial when it’s something hands-on and in my own neighborhood or city.

Am still reading books for the children’s and YA #JhalakPrize25 and can’t wait to discuss my favourites with the other judges and then for our long-list to be published in March. Just coming to the end of a particularly good one now.

It’s felt like a huge, intimidating responsibility to be a judge for the children's and YA Jhalak Prize this year, considering past winners and judges, but the process has been a joy and I'm delighted the longlist is now public:

Huge congratulations to the brilliant NS Nuseibeh, whose book Namesake has been longlisted for the #JhalakPrize25!
Interweaving personal reflections on Palestinian identity, secular Islam and feminism, with tales of the author’s warrior ancestor Nusayba, it’s a vital read in difficult times.

www.jhalakprize.com/poetry-prize extremely grateful to have Boiled Owls longlisted for the Jhalak Prize 2025 and mentioned amongst such illustrious company, in particular, alongside Nisha Ramayya whose work and example has always been a north-star for my own attempts at this life in letters.

In awe of some of the writers I’m reading for the #JhalakPrize25. Probably shouldn’t say who on here as we’re announcing the long list soon, but I wish I had an ounce of their talent.

My daughters are also helping me judge books for the #JhalakPrize25 which has introduced me to lots of new authors and books I might not otherwise have read. Long list will be announced in March!

The Jhalak Prizes are absolutely brilliant, #booksky, get em on your radar.
At a time of increasing White Supremacy noise, it's more important than ever to amplify - and read - writers of colour. Great titles here to choose from⬇️
