The Kingsmead Book Fair took place yesterday – a day of gorgeous weather, glorious encounters and the most amazing exchanges of stories. Literary fun has been had! The programme this year was so rich that the one persistent comment throughout the day was “I wish I could have attended all the other sessions!”
Anna Stroud made her literary debut as a novelist with Who Looks Inside. She has a bright literary career ahead of her, and it is such a privilege to publish her debut novel and to see her shine on this stage. The official launch of the book will take place at Love Books on 19 June. She will be in conversation with Michael Boyd.

The short story panel was a joy:
“Make a virtue out of your quirk!” – Diane Awerbuck
“Genius is not a constant thing.” – Frankie Murrey

Thank you to Mike and Family for hosting me, to Khalida and Dawn for the photos, and to all the other Writers for their generosity of sharing – stories and kindness!
Until next time! 🙂
