About this listen

Today's guest is Tallulah Lyons, Assistant Editor at #Merky Books. We talk about the things I've never asked other editors. What actually goes on in coveted acquisition meetings, what happens to books that are liked but not loved by the team and what does it take for a book to be published.


#Merky Books is an award-winning imprint launched in 2018 by Stormzy and PRH UK. It’s a fantastic imprint that already boasts an enviable list of non-fiction and fiction titles with Keisha The Sket by Jade LB, We are All Birds of Uganda by Hafsa Zayyan, winner of the inaugural #Merky Books New Writers Prize, set up in 201. Tomorrow #Merky will be publishing BAFTA award winning, OBE, Children’s Laureate and most recently 2022 PEN Pinter Prize winner, Malorie Blackman’s, autobiography - My Life in Words.
