He said: “We want to feature books from Sheffield writers, books from Sheffield publishers and books that have a Sheffield connection.

"With the Telegraph having so much local coverage of culture I felt it would be the perfect place to show readers some of the brilliant books that have a Sheffield connection.

"Sheffield's and South Yorkshire's literature scene is often the unsung treasure in our culture here. This fortnightly page in the Sheffield Telegraph will throw a spotlight on some of the great books being written and published in the city and region, and give readers a chance to support world-class local writing."
