Nice to see us back with a banging line up of fabulous writers whose work on place, trauma, memory & family has had me gripped as I re-read their books in prep…

In 2018, @bris_lit empowered the idea of woman as muse, with a special screening of literary documentary, Paris Was a Woman. In 2020, I am sharing this for #Pride, in celebration & support of LGBT representation within the Gothic. 🌈🖤

We wish it was happening! Mine’s a martini... We are sorry the virus stopped the festival but we love you all and send safe and well wishes to you all xxx

Congratulations to @HadleyFreeman. If things had been different, Hadley would have been speaking today in @bris_lit. Hopefully we can reschedule the event. In the meantime read her brilliant and remarkable House of Glass.
