I’m excited to be in conversation with two of my favourite writers as part of a special Leeds Lit Fest event on Wednesday 18 June. Join me at Hyde Park Book Club alongside Andrew McMillan and Maria Ferguson – tickets are on sale here for £10!

Here’s the event blurb:

Join two highly-acclaimed Yorkshire-based writers for an evening of conversation and performance. Andrew McMillan and Maria Ferguson are known primarily as poets. However, Andrew recently published the highly-acclaimed novel ‘Pity’, and Maria has written and performed two award-winning one-woman theatre shows.

Alongside conversations led by acclaimed poet Matt Abbott, Andrew and Maria will treat the audience to live performances of their work. Andrew has published three award-winning collections with Jonathan Cape, most recently ‘pandemonium.’ Maria’s second collection, ‘Swell’, was published by Penguin in January.
