Ministry of Unladylike Activity – paperback cover reveal!

February 17, 2023

MUA PB COVER website

The Ministry of Unladylike Activity is publishing in paperback in the UK and Ireland on the 25th May – and I’m thrilled to be able to reveal the refreshed cover look for the new edition!

Cover by Jan Bielecki

I think it’s so fun and striking, and it makes the original cover even better!

And this isn’t all that’s been updated – the paperback will have new-look maps, new inside illustrations and (for the special Waterstones edition) some special extra material that fans are going to love …

I’ll be able to share more about the different special editions (yes, there will be more than one – indie bookstores will have their own too!) in the next month or so – but for now, enjoy the new-look cover! And please do pre-order if you can – it’s so helpful to authors and bookstores when you do.
