Sugar Rush
It's survival of the fittest at Ravendene Comprehensive - the terrifying teenage jungle for which Kim Lewis must trade her safe, posh private school. But help is at hand - in the unlikely form of the rude, raucous, toxic and tantalizing Maria (aka Sugar) Sweet, queen of the 'Ravers'. As Kim falls quickly under her spell, and gambles her good-girl past for an exciting life of late-night parties and daring emotion, she must ask herself a disturbing question: has she fallen in love with her best friend? Julie Burchill's Sugar Rush is saucy, shimmering, loud and larger than life - come get your sugar fix!
Ambition
I'm sick of breaking bimbos—it's no fun, no challenge. Strong, hard career girls—they're the new filet mignon of females. Girls like you. Oh, I'm going to have fun breaking you, Susan. Tobias Pope ruled his communications empire with fear and loathing—his employees feared him and he loathed them. But he may have met his match in Susan Street, the young, beautiful, and nakedly ambitious deputy of his latest newspaper acquisition. As they fight, shop, and orgy from Soho to Rio and from Sun City to New York City, getting what she wants—the top job—seems so simple. If she doesn't break first. No taboo is left unbroken, no fantasy left unfulfilled in this shocking exposé of the lengths to which one woman will go become editor of the UK's bestselling tabloid.
Unchosen
'They say you never get over your first love and in my case, they were right. But, typically greedy, my first love was a whole race of people - the Jews.' Bristling with strong opinions and fizzing with wit, Julie Burchill narrates the story of how a chance discovery of her father's copy of a World at War magazine about the holocaust kindled an obsessive love that still sustains her today. The book follows the course of this affair from her days as a rock journalist pretending to be Jewish, through her volatile marriage to a Jewish man, her public spats with anti-Israel writers, her dislike.

The Guardian Columns
It is widely agreed that since Deborah Orr asked her to write a column for the Guardian, Julie Burchill has done her best writing for years, producing a hugely entertaining weekly piece with a loyal readership. In contrast to the wild inconsistencies of her Sunday Times columns, for the Guardian she has found a coherent moral perspective, with a range of consistent targets and obsessions: the cult of celebrity; the stupidity of entertainers; old men who behave like young lads; the hypocrisy of new labour and the middle classes; the cruelty of the fashion industry; the ludicrousness of marketing bullshit and consumerism.Burchill is a tonic in a sea of columnists who either write indulgently about the minutiae of their own lives or dryly about politics. No other columnist can combine the personal and political with such wit, viciousness, and occasionally tenderness.There is no-one who can turn received wisdom on its head like Burchill, or who writes with such surprising digressions, asides and changes of tone. She is one of the best columnists around, and this collection brings together the best of her writings.
Sweet: A Sugar Novel 2
The saucy sequel to the bestselling novel Sugar Rush. "Some people tread water all their lives. Not me - I'm gonna make a big splash." Maria Sweet, aka Sugar, is back. Her husband's done a runner taking their daughter with him, but at least she has a plan: get a job, get some cash and get the hell out of Brighton. And somewhere out there in the big bad world is Kim Lewis, who might just be the Love of Sugar's Life. Sugar's landed herself a stint as a model for local fashion designers Agnew & Bagshawe. But when she discovers they've exploited her, she's hell-bent on vengeance and that can only lead to chaos...
Welcome to the Woke Trials
In 2013, Julie Burchill wrote a mischievous piece in the Observer to defend her friend Suzanne Moore. Burchill had not anticipated the vitriolic reaction that her words would provoke. She was pursued by the outrage mob, and there were even calls in the British House of Commons for her to be fired from her job. After that, Burchill - now known as "the dark star of Fleet Street" - was lucky to be to writing online blog pieces for the Spectator. Welcome to the Woke Trials is part-memoir and part-indictment of what happened to Julie Burchill between then and now, as the regiments of the woke took over journalism. It is also a characteristically irreverent and entertaining analysis of the key elements of a continuing and disturbing phenomenon - all told with the common touch and rampant vulgarity that has made Burchill a household name. Raised in a communist household and a lifelong Labour Party voter, Burchill also makes the case for a progressive future politics, a time when we see ourselves as a common humanity with similar hopes and dreams rather than a childish world of villains and victims. As she argues, the day we awake from our sleepwalking cannot come too soon.
