Bertie Beeching's new novel

17 Feb 2026
OE news

Congratulations go to Bertie Beeching (Powell 2011-16), who recently had a new Young Adult dystopian novel published. He wrote to us with more details:

'The main premise considers whether people might take more notice and care of mental illness if it were infectious. The novel depicts a world where such an infection becomes widespread, causing wider societal collapse. Indeed, only those who suffered with depression beforehand are left to survive.'

Writer’s Forum said that the book was 'completely convincing and deeply scary.' It is available now on Amazon.
