Michael Donkor
(b.1985)Michael Donkor was born in London in 1985. He was raised in a Ghanaian household where talking lots and reading lots were vigorously encouraged. Michael read English at Oxford where he developed a particular interest in the works of Woolf, Lessing and Achebe, and later undertook a Masters in Creative Writing at Royal Holloway.
Michael worked in publishing for a number of years, but eventually decided to put his literary enthusiasms to other uses: in 2010, he retrained as an English teacher. Since then he has taught A Level English, trying to develop a curious excitement about books and storytelling within his students.

The Boyhood of Cain (2025)
Michael Amherst
"Told in a voice that is both bracing and embracing, The Boyhood of Cain is a masterful evocation of the vertiginous tipping point between childhood and adolescence. Deeply felt and finely crafted, Amherst delivers Danny's spellbinding story with rare sharpness, profundity and heart."
