Don't miss out on a brilliant in-person workshop at @arcstockton this Saturday 2-5pm, with @kalamene teaching us all about oral storytelling - how to embrace the ritual and fluidity of re-telling (or performing) away from the rigidities of the page

What a brilliant night with six amazing local authors Linda Dooks, Deborah O'Connor, Amy Lord, Jenna Warren, Will Nett and F E Birch. It was a pleasure to hear them talk about their books and different journeys through publishing.

What a fantastic evening with Alexander @McCallSmith and @drakebookshop - fascinating stories and lots of laughter. Thanks to @mbro_townhall for looking after us. A great taster for our main festival in June.
