Baillie Gifford prize for non-fiction

What the Wild Sea Can Be has been longlisted for the 2024 Baillie Gifford prize for non-fiction.

My deepest thanks to everyone who helped make this book what it is, especially my incredible editors George Gibson and Clare Drysdale at Grove Atlantic and Atlantic Books, my wonderful agent Margaret Sutherland Brown, my fabulous publicity team John Mark Boling and Karen Duffy, and the amazing artists and photographers who made this such a beautiful book: Max Naylor, Aaron John Gregory, Billy Arthur, Shane Gross, Alexis Rosenfeld and Stefan Christmann.

The winner of the prize will be announced in November.
