October 25, 2023 @ 18:30 – 21:00
As part of the 2023 Farsley Literature Festival, join us in the shop as we chat to these two fabulous authors and they answer your questions about genre bending.
Writing in one genre is not enough for these authors, Caroline and Linda both write across different genres – but how does that work? Find out how their books are positioned for different markets and how publishers and readers view a change of direction.
Caroline Bond was born in Scarborough and studied English at Oxford University before working as a market researcher for 25 years. She has an MA in Creative Writing from Leeds Trinity University, and lives in Leeds with her husband and three children.
Caroline’s latest book The Day We Left will be released in paperback on 2nd November 2023.
