OBA Patron - Jo Cotterill
"As of 2019, I am delighted to say I’m Patron of the Oxfordshire Book Awards! Having grown up in Appleton and lived in Long Hanborough and Kidlington as an adult, I feel a real kinship with the OBAs and have been attending the ceremonies for several years. As runner-up in 2015 with my novel Looking at the Stars, and as winner in 2017 with A Library of Lemons, I know how much fun and excitement the awards generate – along with a real enjoyment of reading and trying new books."
