First novel success for York English Alumna

Posted on 4 March 2019

Warmest congratulations to York English Alumna, Lucinda Smyth, whose first novel, Click, will be published by HarperCollins next month.

Click is a campus-set thriller about the dark side of social media.  
 
Since graduating in 2014, Lucinda has been working as a journalist, writing for the Times Literary Supplement, the Financial Times, Prospect, and other publications, and more recently as a podcast scriptwriter for House of Heath. 

Of her time at York, she says, "The English course at York is fantastic. It's both intellectually rigorous and creative, offering a selection of topics so broad that you can specialise in virtually anything you like.  I'm especially grateful to three profs: the brilliant Brian Cummings, Bryan Radley and Erica Sheen."
 
Well done, Lucinda.  We are delighted for your success!
