For Such a Time as This
A richly imagined short-story collection that deftly explores the connections that bind us- how we make them, maintain them, or even break them when they no longer serve us
In Shani Akilah's stunning collection of short stories, we meet a group of Black-British Londoners as they explore their platonic and romantic relationships, from a fleeting meeting between past lovers and the first bloom of a new love, to the grief of losing a sibling and the difficulty of navigating racial inequalities in the workplace.
Bringing to life themes of community, faith and belonging, these beautifully crafted stories give an insight into the joys - and struggles - of the many ways we experience love and friendship.

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.
