A Kind of Intimacy was included in the Waterstone’s New Voices promotion, won a Betty Trask award from the Society of Authors and was short-listed for The Guardian's "Not The Booker Prize". Her second novel, Cold Light will be published by Sceptre in May 2011. Jenn Ashworth was recently recognised by the BBC's "The Culture Show" as one of the twelve best new novelists in the UK.
