Spend an evening diving into stories and literature with Costanza Casati and Paddy Crewe.
What happens between having an idea for a book and seeing your name on high-street shelves? And once you get there, how do you sustain a career?
In this event, novelists Costanza Casati (Clytemnestra, Babylonia) and Paddy Crewe (My Name is Yip, True Love) share an open, behind-the-scenes perspective on being a writer today. Costanza and Paddy will discuss their contrasting creative journeys, their writing habits, and the honest truths about building a life in fiction. They’ll dive into the practical realities of the industry, the discipline needed to finish a manuscript, the road to securing representation and a book deal, and the creative resilience required when the launch dust settles.
Whether you are an aspiring author looking for guidance, an avid reader or simply curious about how the literary world works, this evening is for you!
The talk will be followed by an audience Q&A and a drinks reception, with copies of both authors' books available to purchase and have signed.
