Also joining for readings on the evening will be author and Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing, Phillipa Harry Holloway (The Half-life of Snails), screenwriter, playwright and poet, afshan d’souza-lodhi, and Marcia Hutchinson, who was named one of The Observer’s Best New Novelists for 2025.
Alongside the readings, there will be insightful book talks, opportunities for mingling and discussion, free light refreshments and dancing to a soundtrack supplied by Josh AF.
