The Hackney Writers Legacy Steps, created by Children’s Black Book Fair UK (CBBF UK) in partnership with Hackney Libraries, celebrate 48 writers and storytellers with connections to Hackney, including Matilda. Inspiring future generations to discover, celebrate and write their own stories. 

Theatre Centre announces the three writers selected for its inaugural Brian Way Writers’ Room; Zia Ahmed, Matilda Feyiṣayọ Ibini and Christopher York will join Theatre Centre as Resident Writers, working closely with young people through the company’s Future Makers workshops.

Matilda is published in More Than One Story. Cardboard Citizens first-ever anthology: a groundbreaking collection of new writing by thirty-seven emerging and established writers from across the UK with lived experience of homelessness, poverty and inequity.

Matilda is one of eleven writers published in Jhalak Review's Autumn 2025 issue - Unimagined Futures.
