Bellies
A coming-of-age story about falling in and out of love, brimming with humour and heartbreak, Bellies asks — is it worth losing a part of yourself to become who you are?
It begins as your typical boy meets boy.
Tom and Ming meet on a night out at university and fall hard for each other. It's not long before they are planning a future and building a life.
Then Ming announces her intention to transition.
As Tom and Ming both face shifts in their relationship and confront the vastly different shapes their lives have taken, they must both ask if it is worth losing a part of themselves - or each other - to become the people they want to be.
'Thoughtful, seductive, and entirely engrossing — Bellies is already a classic' — Bryan Washington, author of Memorial and Lot
'Smart, hilarious and deeply moving' Elliot Page, author of Pageboy
'Bellies announces Nicola Dinan as a genuine literary talent, a gimlet-eyed cartographer of the human heart' — Sharlene Teo, author of Ponti

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
