“Leap headfirst into the unknown”: local author Daniel Tawse tells his own story
Growing up in North Shields gifted Daniel Tawse a deep-rooted sense of belonging—one that continues to shape his stories, characters and settings. From small northern towns to big-city awakenings, his novels draw on lived experience, community, and the magnetic pull of home. In this excerpt, he reflects on queerness, nostalgia and why returning to the North East has helped him find his most authentic voice as a writer.
Poetry: Our Town
Our Town by Roslyn Renwick honours North Shields’ enduring spirit, celebrating its history, people, and everyday life. Through vivid images of fishing roots and daily rituals, the poem asserts that the town’s streets are more than places—they are living memories shaped by community pride and resilience.
