The National Centre for Writing has revealed the shortlist for their International Literature Exchange (ILX) 10 Rising Stars of UK Writing, and J&A author Nick Bradley has been chosen as one of their top picks.
Featuring a variety of prose, poetry, and creative non-fiction writers, the list represents authors who the Centre believes have ‘the powerful potential to speak to and engage with global literary audiences.’
The National Centre for Writing is a literature development agency and national centre for writing based in Norwich. Offering writers the opportunity to connect, learn and seek inspiration from one another, they run a series of in-person and online events and festivals throughout the year.
Nick’s debut novel The Cat & The City was published by Atlantic in 2020 and received praise from BBC Radio 2, The Guardian, The Independent and The Times. His second novel, Four Seasons in Japan (Doubleday), was published in 2023 to rave reviews.
