Off the Record
Netflix's Unbelievable meets Angie Thomas' On the Come Upin this bold story about fame, justice and freedom of speech.
Seventeen-year-old Josie is living a young journalist's dream when she wins a contest to write a celebrity profile for her favourite magazine, especially once she meets the charming new actor at its centre.
But there's a dark side to the glitz and glamour and Josie is suddenly in the perfect position to expose it. A young actress confides in her a terrible secret, and Josie realizes she's in over her head. Is it her story to tell? What if she lets down the women entrusting her with their secrets? And will revealing it jeopardize her writing career before it's even begun? There are so many reasons to forget what she's been told.
But one secret is followed by another and another, until Josie needs to decide whether to step up . . .
. . . and what she can bear to sacrifice for the truth.
'Brave, necessary and unflinchingly real' — Marieke Nijkamp, author of This Is Where It Ends

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.
