Media Reviews

Test Signal portrays northern identity as diverse and multi-faceted. It is testament to the fact that there is no singular prescription of what it means to be a northern writer and no such thing as a definitive northern voice; instead it celebrates a community of writers, each telling a different story in their own words. -- Jessica Andrews, author of SALTWATER
Mint stuff. There's nothing too obviously Northern about these trenchant stories - in their content or form - beyond that stubborn refusal to blend in, to stay still, to be complacent. It'll go dead far. * Tom Benn, author of OXBLOOD *
