To celebrate the wonderful month of WOM4Nhood, we’re offering you the chance to win a selection of our glorious, colourful female-authored titles.
There is no stylistic logic to this collection – you are as likely to find subtle and nuanced stories that linger on and on as voices that pack an immediate and visceral punch. We’ve got a straight-talking beauty tome and a whole new way of eating to pore over. And settings that range from Uganda and Brittany to bee-hives. It’s an eclectic collection, sure, but that’s what WOM4N month is all about.
To enter, sign up using the form below. We will email the winner on the 31st October.
Good Luck!

If you’re anything like us, the recipe book is the first port of call before we even think about stepping into the kitchen. Nigel Slater, Riverford, Rose Prince, Locatelli; you name it, we’ve cooked from it. Sometimes, though, we haven’t always got time to find the perfect recipe, gather ingredients, pour a glass of wine and start cooking only to realise that we’ve forgotten to buy a vital ingredient and all the shops are closed. So, the ever-delightful Anna Jones, author of the gorgeous A Modern Way to Eat, has agreed to compose 6 personalised recipes from reader submissions. All you need to do is tweet us your requests!

‘Like Six Feet Under this is an adult drama, an examination of love and loss that is unafraid to take risks while, as the title suggests, always keeping the focus not on what happened but on what it means to those left behind … The Leftovers might not be overly concerned with providing straightforward answers, but as a celebration of the human condition few current series have it beat.’
While our summer certainly feels like it’s over (or at least dwindling rapidly…), Lena Dunham’s is not. The actor, director, producer AND writer of the upcoming Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She’s Learned has instagrammed her summer reading list – a nice collation of book porn to keep us going through this British autumnal blip.

You may have seen these stylish and playful Benoît Jacques illustrations accompanying Tim Dowling’s Guardian Weekend column, so it was only right that they be used in Tim Dowling’s debut novel How To be a Husband. These cartoons have evoked our playful side, so we’ve got a competition for you. Match the chapter title to the ten respective picture from the Flickr gallery (for example: a7, b3, c5). Three entrants to pair all ten correctly will be chosen at random, and will win a copy of How To be a Husband. Guess away!
