Part of the Story

Margaret Busby's 'Part of the Story: Writings from Half a Century' assembles her essays, reviews, and reflections from a five-decade career in publishing, anthologizing and cultural life.

The volume showcases her work championing marginalized writers, editing major anthologies, and intervening in debates about race, gender and literature in Britain and internationally.

Through a mix of memoiristic pieces and critical writing, the book traces changing literary landscapes and Busby's role in rescuing neglected voices.

It offers personal anecdotes from her time founding Alison and Busby and campaigning for diverse representation in publishing.

The collection serves both as literary history and a testament to persistent efforts to broaden the canon.
