Their anthology, Threads and Faces: Stories on Identity and Belonging, celebrates new work by emerging writers, with a particular focus on memoir and personal stories.  

We’re delighted to be welcoming some brilliant women writers, who will be reading from the anthology and reflecting on their own transformative writing journeys.  We’ll also be joined by Racheal Kizza from African Writer’s Trust.  It’s the perfect way to spend your afternoon!

This event is funded through the British Council’s International Literature Showcase.
