We did it! I’m crying! I’ve just heard we have got funding again. And this time it is even bigger, better, more intriguing. Oh what a life it is to be sober and doing what you love.

I wrote a piece for The Times which is out today! Obv about Aftershock, my new poetry book and how Evian once put my face on water bottles around the world. Oh, and the crisis. And how it led to *all this*.

My new book has a cover! Out November 2025 with @verve.publisherofpoetry https://www.vervepoetrybookshop.com/product-page/well-done-you-didn-t-die-max-wallis

My next big idea - and a long way off - is Little Shocks (@littleshocksbooks). Small books for big feelings.

A children’s imprint from The Aftershock Review, Little Shocks will publish beautiful, emotionally honest books for children facing difficult subjects: grief, fear, change, illness, difference, family rupture, anger, loneliness and hope.

Clear, kind, imaginative and brave, these are books for the feelings adults often find hardest to explain.

If you’re an illustrator get in touch!

Oh sweet cabbage baby books, you are so smol, so pocketable, so bloody brilliant.

Each box contains 100 copies of a Pocket Aftershock! Surprise cat at the end of the video! Now, @waterstones @waterstonesmcr @poetry_pharmacy_ @poetrybooksociety @ebbandflobookshopchorley that doesn’t take much shelf space does it?

It’s never easy. But it’s worth it. My life now doesn’t feel two years away from before, but more like another life entirely. It’s sort of how I see it. I have a chance to live again. No matter what happens in the world or in our lives we can control whether or not we drink or use. The last two years have seen so many opportunities (or rather, excuses) for me to drink or take drugs. Instead I had to see them as crucibles and opportunities for growth. For anyone hurting I will not drink with you today. To those who know who they are - thank you.
