None of This is True

Lisa Jewell’s None of This is True, about two women whose lives intertwine after a chance meeting in a pub, was singled out by our judges as a "brilliant" and "impressive" read. They were in awe of Century’s "innovative", "committed" and "clever" campaign which made None of This is True the bestselling hardback of Jewell’s career to date.

Not only did Century bring the podcast "Hi, I’m Your Birthday Twin!" from the novel to life, it also worked with a production company to bring the Netflix true crime documentary element of the book to the small screen. For our panel, None of This is True stands testament to Jewell’s skill as writer of twisty, cleverly plotted and unputdownable crime novels, and the publisher’s ongoing dedication to nurturing her career-spanning more than 20 years. The success of the novel is testa­ment to "Century’s commitment to their author", agreed our judges.
