Had the honour of writing for The Observer about leaving home, familial obligations, and ambition. Perhaps one of the most surreal moments of my writing career, to see my face and writing alongside that of Jonathan Coe and Sarah Hall.
‘What did we do to make you want to leave?’. Writer Kasim Ali is one of the few members of the community he grew up with in Birmingham’s Alum Rock to have left – and his family can’t understand why. Read more as he attempts to explain:.

Far too easy to say something cynical and cold, far harder to say: I really tried to write something worthy of the time. My time, those who have worked on this with me, and those who may read it. Very grateful to get to do this again. Out July 17th from @4thEstateBooks.

@mollyflatt I'm not sure the feelings of shame will ever disappear. I'm working on it, I think. Writing this is part of it. Working on the next book is too. Friends tell me to be easier on myself, and I am trying. It just feels impossible sometimes.

@mollyflatt I have lost all sight of what makes my writing good, not sure that I have ever been good at it. I question everything I write. I do not know how to be in this world where I am simultaneously a published author and a failed writer.

@mollyflatt I have pretty much spent the majority of the last two years saying the worst possible things to myself, beating myself to death and back about what I view as my own failings in producing a book that didn't succeed in ways I wanted it to.

I wrote about feelings of failure, two years on after my debut was published. Thank you to @mollyflatt for the space to excavate these feelings:.

Why does publishing success so often feel like the opposite?

Four weeks today, this will be published. Like, on sale, in bookshops, people can pay to own it, published. I wrote it three years ago, coming out of maybe the lowest low of my life, and didn’t imagine anything would come of it. Now it’ll be published by my legit dream publisher.
