Parthian Appoints Two New Editors: Susie Wild and Alan Kellermann

Two editors will be joining the Parthian editorial team in the new financial year. Editor and writer Susie Wild has extended her role to general editor with Parthian and is currently working on a list which includes sparkling new fiction debuts by Craig Hawes, Dan Tyte and Carly Holmes. She is also the editor of an innovative range of memoirs which starts Dorothy Al Khafaji’s Between Two Rivers, an honest, funny and moving story of Baghdad life from the perspective of a young woman from England, transplanted into another culture by love and family, and then in 2014 by Michael Oliver’s innovative Sunbathing in Siberia: A Marriage of East and West in Post Soviet Russia.

PODCAST: This Place of Salt and Inspiration With Welsh poet Natalie Ann Holborow

It’s a bright, sunny morning in North Gower, and we’ve been invited down to a pulsing, tidal place: the daily walking route of poet Natalie Ann Holborow. On the salt marshes flanking the Loughor Estuary, while cockle-pickers clatter out on quad bikes, we discuss the importance of creative exploration: of getting out in nature, and out of comfort zones.
