It is with great pleasure that I’m able to share with you today that we’ve awarded our £6000 grant to Marissa Mireles Hinds who is working on her first novel, Sucre. A blend of magic realism and historical fiction, the novel will explore themes of (anti)colonialism, black history, fear of motherhood, Caribbean and African spiritualism, family and identity.
I’m sure it must have been difficult to choose from the number of entries, but Sucre sounds like a fascinating story and one that will grow and gain depth with further research.
I’d love to see creative non-fiction stand side-by-side with fiction on platforms like yours, and hope the patrons of this award will consider offering not one but two awards next year. Thankyou BERGSTROM STUDIO for your innovation.
This is great news! Congratulations Marissa!
