Wild Ways
An anthology of stories of women on the road. Co-edited with Margo Daly. Includes stories by Ali Smith, Louise Doughty and Leone Ross amongst others.

Today I saw this sign. It was locked to a fence outside one of the houses squashed between the Vietnamese mafia cafes on Dundas West. Someone had painted on it in yellow free capitals:

BE BLATANT - BE EMOTIONAL - RISK EVERYTHING

'These tales reach beyond their remit of women on the road. Great for dipping into.'
- The Guardian

'Snappy, clever, inventive stories by some of today’s really good women writers injects plenty of female fun into the armchair-adventure experience...stories like Catherine Ford’s account of sisters in a New York hotel are so damn stylish, everyone should gather around the book and applaud.'
The Australian Way

'Stories by some of the finest new female writers in Britain, Jamaica, Australia, New Zealand and Canada...a superbly realised and well-written collection.'
- Edinburgh Evening News

wild ways

'Wild Ways takes the travelogue genre into another stratosphere of storytelling...this collection is at once hilarious, tender, sad and inspirational.'
- Elle (Australia)
