The Local Voices Project by Damien Mosley

As part of a unique project to celebrate underrepresented authors and empower what could be an incredibly powerful underlying diversity, independent publisher Indie Novella has been working with writers in some of the most cultural diverse parts of the UK, to promote diversity in publishing by publishing diverse writers. Indie Novella set out looking to fill a highly present gap in UK publishing, and that is a lack of underrepresented voices telling stories of their lives in the UK which are not typical stereotype narratives that are the ones that have been commonly told when writers of African, Asian and Caribbean heritage are published. Indie Novella instead asked writers from different communities to tell the stories of their communities - tell the stories that go unheard, about forming diaspora communities, growing up in a multicultural society, coming together during COVID, caring for relatives, huge rent hikes, the impact of gentrification, being Black and British, finding a place where you feel accepted.
