Join us for our Bold Types Showcase, and hear the shortlisted writers read their stories in front of our wonderfully supportive and encouraging panel of judges, including: prize-winning poet Vicki Husband; Science Fiction novelist Safina Mazhar; and GWL’s own librarian, Wendy Kirk. Winners will be announced on the night. Prizes include a 1:1 session with one of our judges and a selection of books.
