We are delighted to share with you a recording of Emma Sweeney reading from her forthcoming novel My Broken Twin. It is about the relationship between twin sisters, one of whom is disabled. We hope you enjoy this short excerpt from this beautifully written, powerful novel.

Emma joins us at Circle of Misse April 12-18, 2010 to lead a Get Writing! Boot Camp.

Her teaching and writing career has taken her as far a field as South East Asia, Japan and India. She lectures in Creative Writing at New York University - London, and at the Open University.

Emma has won various prizes for her writing including an Arts Council Award and a Royal Literary Fund Bursary. She was also a recent Byrdcliffe Artist in Residence, and has been short-listed for various prestigious awards including the David Wong Fellowship, the International Fish Prize and the Asham Award (Britain’s foremost short story prize for women writers).
