In a break from talking about the Writers’ Prize this week, I wanted to tell you about something else.

For the past eighteen months, my nine-year-old son has been working on his first manga. Inspired by his primary school teacher, Ms Asare, who is also an artist and manga superfan, my son became obsessed by manga and determined to write his own story.

Last month he published his manga, The Definitely Normal School, with Amazon KDP. The book is illustrated by the incredible artist Masoren and available in Kindle or paperback.

That’s it. That’s the news this week. I just wanted to share how incredibly proud I am of him.
