At last weekend's Northern Short Story Festival in Leeds, as well as a plethora of workshops and events, Comma Press had a stall so I immediately bought a copy of the new collection by Michelle Green, Jebel MarraSo far I'm into the second story - all of them set in Dafur where she spent time as an aid worker - and would recommend them.
So I was pleased to read just now that Michelle has been awarded the Julia Darling Travel Fellowship.
