We publish BEASTINGS on 3rd July 2014.
Ben won The 2013 Northern Writers Award.
The opening chapter of Beastings won the Northern Writers’ Award 2013. Judge Sarah Hall said:
Myers’ prose is taut, confident, professionally polished but at the same time maintaining a sense of rustic and unrefined authenticity, that which is truly hewn…it feels real – rain, mountain terrain, bothy kitchen, vestry, and all.
