    Mate. What a week. I've been awarded a Doctoral studentship to study for a PhD in Creative & Critical Writing at UEA from October. I'll be writing a memoir through the lens of translation & a thesis on women translators who've written creative non-fiction about their practice. !.

    I hope you won’t begrudge me celebrating something I’ve been looking forward to for a long while during this discombobulating time - my debut book of short stories is out today from @prototypepubs. I’m wearing my new intellectual frog shirt to celebrate.

    It’s just hitting me how exciting/wild 2023 is going to be. I have a novel, a poetry collection, a collection of personal essays + my 13th & 14th book translations coming out + I’ll be finishing my PhD (on hybrid translator memoir + my own hybrid translator memoir)…

    A guy in a suit outside Euston station just said ‘wow, hello there’ to me and when I gave him a withering look he said ‘eurgh, what a dog’ so I followed him growling and barking and he literally jogged away from me #iwillbiteyou

    Cat’s out of the bag… I have a new book coming out in November from the beloved @prototypepubs - Vehicle: a verse novel. It’s been many years in the making. Already had some messages about it this morning, you lot pay attention to newsletters! More soon…
    A screengrab from an E-newsletter that reads: we’re also thrilled to announce that in November we will be publishing the first full-length prose work by Jen Calleja, called ‘Vehicle: a verse novel’, a hybrid work of speculative fiction about personal testimony, the life of archives and the impossibility or possibility of biography and translation.
