@PompeyBookFest 2024 ended on Saturday evening with a sell-out event with the brilliant poet John Agard. Our thanks to all of the authors, speakers, venues & volunteers involved in the events and of course our lovely audiences. A short break now before we begin planning the next!
It was lovely to welcome author Isabel Ashdown back to Portsmouth BookFest last Friday after her first appearance in 2010. Isabel was so helpful with audience questions and we'd also like to thank her publisher Sam Eades of Orion for a brilliant interview. 😀
BookFest 2024 wraps up this week with some brilliant events! Listen to your microbes (with Laura Gowers and Fergus Shanahan), Creative Conundrums at the Cathedral, Quartet with Dr Leah Broad and John Agard. See you there!
What a great evening meeting & hearing from Dame Sheila Hancock yesterday. A big thank you to @portsmouthuni for all their help with the venue, to our lovely audience and of course to Dame Sheila! There are just 5 events left now for this year's Festival wegottickets.com/portsmouthbook…
Tonight's Sheila Hancock event is completely sold out and we do not have any on the door tickets available for anyone on the waiting list- anyone arriving without a ticket will unfortunately be disappointed. This has been one of our fastest selling events of over ten years!

After #WriteYourNovel course in @PompeyBookFest a dozen writers met online. Kicked around pages of text, teased, tested, tasted. Improved our editing. One cut 30,000 words - and enjoyed it. #writing #editing #workshop #portsmouth #fareham ashcroft.org.uk/event/edit-you…

It's paperback publication day for #TheHollowSea. I'm so excited to see this beautiful new cover out in the world & hopefully find a whole new audience. I'm so proud of this book & privileged to be able to tell these stories that often don't get told. uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-ho…
