Inside Out Edition

When

Event Status

At our May Next Big Thing event, step inside the stories and experiences of four writers whose work explores very different realms. 

Ella Baxter’s novel New Animal follows a woman searching for solace in different worlds, Emily Spurr’s novel A Million Things ruminates on the secrets houses and families can conceal, while Sar Fegan’s piece ‘Root Rot’, published in the latest issue of Voiceworks, is a personal dissection of the realities and flaws of the medical system.

Join us at the Moat to explore these physical, emotional and structural spaces: their ins, outs and in-betweens.

The bookseller for this event is Readings.


Due to Covid-19 restrictions, venue capacity is unfortunately limited. We will not be able to accommodate walk-ups or a waitlist as may have been the case in the past.
