Jenn Ashworth

MA alumna Jenn Ashworth has secured a deal to have her novel, A Kind of Intimacy, published by Arcadia in May 2009.

The novel is the story of Annie, an overweight woman addicted to self-help books and convinced she's seen her new neighbour somewhere before - you can read an extract here.

Jenn was also awarded the Best Writing on a Blog prize at the 2008 City Life Blog Awards - click here to find out more, or visit her own website.
