Books by Louise Beech

Louise Beech has been writing since she could physically hold a pen. She regularly writes travel pieces for the Hull Daily Mail, where she was a columnist for ten years. Her short fiction has won the Glass Woman Prize, the Eric Hoffer Award for Prose, and the Aesthetica Creative Works competition, as well as shortlisting twice for the Bridport Prize. Her debut novel, How To Be Brave, was a number one bestseller on Kindle in the UK and Australia, and a Guardian's Readers' Pick in 2015. The Mountain in My Shoe was longlisted for the Guardian Not the Booker Prize. Louise is currently writing her fourth book. She lives with her husband and children on the outskirts of Hull - the UK's 2017 City of Culture - and loves her job as Front of House Usher at Hull Truck Theatre, where her first play was performed in 2012.
