Stormzy launches new publishing company with Penguin House

Stormzy has announced a new venture to help young writers become published authors.

The award-winning London rapper is launching his own publishing brand called #Merky Books in collaboration with Penguin Random House.

In a post on Instagram, Stormzy said he knew “too many talented writers that don’t always have an outlet or a means to get their work seen”.

He said: “Reading and writing as a kid was integral to where I am today and I from the bottom of my heart cannot wait to hear your stories, your poems, your novels, your sci-fi and then getting them out into the big wide world.”

The grime music star said he was “proper proud” of the scheme, which will involve school competitions to find talented writers and offer a paid internship in 2019.

He also confirmed he will publish his own book, Rise Up: The #Merky Journey So Far, which will be released on the 1st of November.

Penguin described Stormzy, whose real name is Michael Omari, as the “voice of a generation”.
