JARRED MCGINNIS WINS ECCLES CENTRE & HAY FESTIVAL WRITER’S AWARD

We're delighted to share that Jarred McGinnis has been chosen for the Eccles
Centre & Hay Festival Writer's Award 2023. He won along with fellow writer,
Ayanna Lloyd Banwo, and both will receive £20,000 and up to a year's writing
residency at the British Library. They will also get the chance to showcase
their work at Hay Festival events in the UK and Latin America. The shortlist
covered a range of subjects such as migration, environmental breakdown,
masculinity, urbanisation, and literary movements and McGinnis was chosen for
his work, The Mountain Weight; a memoir that will unearth his family history
from the American Civil War to today. It will look at themes of masculinity,
family and migration and consider the myths we create about ourselves and the
idea of family to help explain who we are and who we want to be. The judges
said: "McGinnis' The Mountain Weight uses a biographical lens to explore themes
of masculinity and generational violence in the United States. We were impressed
by the emotional power of McGinnis' proposal and the proposed use of archival
material to tell an intimate story and broad social history."

AGENT AND BONNIER BOOKS UK TO ENSURE WORK BY DOM PHILLIPS ‘WAS NOT IN VAIN’

The agent of murdered journalist Dom Phillips, Rebecca Carter, hopes the book he
was working on for Bonnier Books UK’s Manila Press can be “salvaged and
published” to make sure the work that he did has “not been in vain”. On 1st June
Phillips set off from his home in the city of Salvador to embark on a journey to
the Lago do Jaburu region of the Amazonas state with friend and guide Bruno
Pereira to research the book How to Save the Amazon. They were last seen on 5th
June, and their bodies were later recovered. Three men have been arrested in
connection with the crime, one of whom has confessed to murder, the Guardian
reported. Margaret Stead, publisher at Manilla Press, said: “We are all deeply
shocked and appalled at the deaths of Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira. We are
thinking of his wife and family at this very sad time. “All of us who met him
were touched by Dom’s brilliance and determination, and the powerful message he
wished to convey in his book, How to Save the Amazon. We very much want to find
ways to honour Dom, and his essential and important message.” Rebecca Carter,
his literary agent at Janklow & Nesbitt, said: “The murder of Dom Phillips is a
deep blow not only on a personal level to the many people whose lives were
touched by him, but also to the ability of writers, journalists and
environmentalists to pursue their crucial work in safety. I feel hopeful that
some of his book can be salvaged and published, and I know that there are many
excellent and skilled people who want to help make that happen, to make sure
that all the work that Dom did, and the risks he took, have not been in vain.”
Phillips’ sister has recently come out saying he knew the risks but was
committed to his work, believing the book he was writing to be “urgent.” The
publisher synopsis of How to Save the Amazon, initially scheduled to publish in
April 2023, reads: “He has seen at first hand the devastation wreaked upon the
Amazon. But speaking to people with the ideas and passion to fight back, he is
also witness to the many efforts being made to avert that destruction, from
encouraging the farming of sustainable foods, to giving riverside communities
the resources and knowledge to protect and maintain their unique ways of life.
“How to Save the Amazon is part travelogue, part guidebook out of environmental
despair, as Dom Phillips takes us to the heart of this great wonder of our
planet, showing us the myriad of peoples it sustains, and the many ways in which
we can avert the collapse of this incredible ecosystem.” Photo credit: João Laet
