There is always the cry that the North (not the north because let’s face facts while Southern counties where scratching in the dirt, the North had created the North) ‘will rise!’ The truth is that we have risen, showered, breakfasted and gone to work, some of us in the very industries that used to be Londoncentric. For a long time the North has been developing and in an interview with John Rutter about Unthology 5, we discuss the strong presence of Northern writers, such as Sarah Dobbs, AJ Ashworth, Carys Bray, Ailsa Cox and Rodge Glass, in National and International publications http://unthankbooks.com/blog/
