I am beyond thrilled to present the cover reveal for Shelley Day’s new short story collection ‘What are you like?’

The blog tour is imminent, but for now please settle back, and enjoy some early buzz about Shelley’s work and find out the story behind the cover….

Shelley Day is an award-winning writer, a European totally opposed to Brexit, a Geordie lass, a lapsed lawyer and academic psychologist. She was named as an Edinburgh UNESCO City of Literature ‘emerging writer’ in 2013 and has since appeared at numerous literary festivals. Her debut novel ‘The Confession of Stella Moon(Saraband, 2016) won the Andrea Badenoch Prize and was shortlisted for the Dundee International Book Prize. In 2015 she won a Northern Writer’s Award to support this debut short story collection. Shelley is represented by Jenny Brown

Here are some of the things being said about ‘What Are You Like’-

‘These are real short stories from a real writer: full of the telling detail, the betraying detail, the immaculately-rendered thought… The title work alone is a visceral, unforgettable, punch-drunk joy. Read this book.’
A L Kennedy, award-winning novelist and short story writer.

‘This coruscating collection beautifully showcases Shelley Day’s twisting and turning talent. In one volume, we are immersed repeatedly into her magical worlds, emerging reeling yet ready for the next dip.’
Angela Jackson, award-winning novelist and script writer

Lucid, vivid, quirky, these interlinking stories teem with the stuff of life – always making the reader ask questions about family, loss, love – what is said, and what is not. The voices in this tender collection come bristling to life, fizzing and full. Fabulous.’
Jackie Kay, poet, novelist, short story writer, and Scotland’s Makar
