About this Event
The Portico Library welcomes newly formed publishers Fox & Windmill from Bradford to share stories from Into the Wilds, an Anthology of short stories and poetry from British South Asian writers. Celebrating the work of fifteen debut writers of British South Asian backgrounds, Into The Wilds is a collection of real, gripping and heartfelt stories and poetry that explores themes across family, love and identity. With an introduction from award-winning journalist Saima Mir and work from Costa nominated author, Sairish Hussain and award-winning poet, Zaffar Kunial, this anthology is a remarkable debut from a new Northern Indie.
This is the second event in the Arts Council England funded series Rewriting the North, which celebrates Northern writing, and is hosted by Dr David Cooper from the Centre for Place Writing, Manchester Metropolitan University.

Since launching in 2021, Fox & Windmill has been shortlisted for The Bookseller FutureBook Awards and the British Muslim Awards.
