#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
We all know someone who said they would write a book in lockdown — meet the people who actually did. These debut authors discuss how the past two years of global pandemic affected, or perhaps inspired, their writing, and what the final push was to get those manuscripts published.

Chair: Kathleen Jennings
