 It was lovely to see Hanan and all other readers at Hay After Hours in Cardiff last night... ' No phony encores! Hay Festival After Hours lit up Cardiff for a second time last night. Our speakers and performers were poet Hanan Issa; songwriter Gruff Rhys; spoken word poet and hip hop artist DUKE AL; and science fiction author and activist Cory Doctorow; with host Hay Festival head of programmes Helen Bagnall.'

Read this eloquent and incisive piece from Jannat Ahmed (Lucent Dreaming) on the current issues facing independent publishers in Wales and beyond... picked up by The Bookseller .

 

A lovely launch for Jemma L. King’s Moon Base One in Aberaeron earlier before bringing more literature to the City of Literature… in Aberystwyth for a couple of days.
