Afloat A Memoir Danie Couchman 18 April 2019 9781787133488 £12.99 | Hardback 224pp | 216 x 138mm Black and white illustrations

draft cover

The inspiring story of a twenty-something girl’s life on a London houseboat Danie Couchman has spent the last few years of her 20s living alone on a canalboat in London, moving moorings every two weeks. The decision to do so was swift and instinctive: having grown up in a fractured army family and then in a series of shared houses, she never found a place that felt like home. The water called to her in a way nothing had before. As she would soon learn, a watery abode carries all kinds of new dangers, and the pull of the past is as sure as the pull of a current. But the water also carries friends and a sense of kinship and community which is fast-disappearing in our increasingly screen-led, urban existence.

Slow down and walk along the canal bank. You never know what you might find…

Danie Couchman contributes to the Canal & River Trust’s magazine Waterfront and wellbeing publication The Simple Things. You can find articles she has written for them on her website daniecouchman.com • Comparable to last year’s breakout memoir, The Outrun, this is a universal story of loss, learning and nature • Beautifully written; once you start reading you won’t be able to stop • Canals are visited by over 200k people a year; canalboat holidays are perennially popular • The author will give a number of national media interviews

author image

A lively exploration of the enduring and ignored influence of female music fans Female fans have long driven the objects of their affection to the giddy heights of life-changing fame.

So why don’t these women get any credit? Why are they derided and frequently the butt of jokes? In Fangirl, journalist Hannah Ewens is on a mission to give these girls their rightful due. A self-confessed fangirl herself, she traces the path of fangirls through history: the ups, the downs, the lengths they go to; but also the communities and camaraderie created by these communities off- and online and the lifeline they can provide.

Hannah Ewens is currently Features Editor at VICE, having previously worked at Dazed and Confused.

She writes about music, film, mental health and fandom for publications including the Guardian and the Telegraph. She is one of the most successful rock music journalists in the UK frequently writing cover features for Kerrang!

• #MeToo is proving (worryingly) slow to spread to the music industry, and this book has the potential to be the catalyst for change that women everywhere have been waiting for • 46% of One Direction’s fans are aged 35 and over: being a fangirl no longer means being young • Hannah is an award-winning writer with lots of contacts and a great profile

time a year & a day in the kitchen

gill meller ‘Gill Meller’s recipes make me want to run headlong into the kitchen.’

n igell a lawson

‘A joy. The recipes are even better than in his first book.

And that’s saying something.’

diana henry

‘I’m biased, of course, as we are still collaborators, but this really is another spellbinding cookbook from Gill, full of stunning, unexpected combinations and sumptuous seasonal treats.

It deserves to be – I can hardly resist saying – a timeless classic.’
