With a foreword by UEA alumnus and novelist Joe Dunthorne and an introduction by Henry Sutton, this anthology showcases some thirty new names for the future. The world-renowned UEA programme's alumni includes Ian McEwan, Anne Enright, Tracy Chevalier, Kazuo Ishiguro, John Boyne, Kathryn Simmonds, Adam Foulds, Diana Evans, Deirdre Madden, Toby Litt, Anjali Joseph and Andrew Miller.

"The UEA is a supportive community, a creative muse and a fertile ground – under clear East Anglian skies – to grow the best crop of new writers each year. Sample and enjoy this season's produce."
– Jeremy Page, author of Salt and The Wake
