About Odette Briar
Odette Briar is a fictional author persona created for humour with a lyrical and grounded sensibility. The work is shaped by translation, attentive settings and the social textures suggested by a pale seaside promenade in winter. Written for adult readers, the programme brings short fiction into conversation with character, place and consequence without claiming a factual life story or professional authority for its byline. Singing Wall Almanac uses a collection-led form suited to the voice, images and rhythms of the work. The persona is presented transparently by Novacivelle Publishing House, with human editorial direction guiding concept development, drafting, revision and any future publication decision.
