Damian Barr announced as judge for Costa Book Awards 2021

Time to get my costa card stamped!

Delighted to join this line-up as one of the guests for the final judging panel for the Costa Book Awards 2021. It’s been a great year for publishing so I’m hoping it’ll be a pleasingly difficult task.

Double shot and oat milk, please.
