It’s lunchtime, and (hallelujah!) there’s no need to doomscroll over a sad desk salad. Be the first to discover the literary stars of the future, instead. In partnership with Scottish Book Trust and other leading talent spotters across the UK, this lively lunchtime event showcases electrifying new voices, so grab your seat before everyone else does. Today, we partner with the Women’s Prize Trust Discoveries Award, hearing readings from writers including Lorna Elcock, Rukky Brume, and Rue Baldry. They are joined by Scottish Book Trust New Writers Awardees Taylor Dyson and Nasim Rebecca Asl.
