Our Sylvia Plath celebration yesterday was fascinating, thrilling, and fun! Thanks so much to our wonderful workshop leaders (Sarah Corbett & Dr Gail Crowther - who allowed us to touch Sylvia Plath's watch!!?), the participants, & our fabulous readers, especially MichaelaCoplen.

Join me & RomancingTheGothic on Sat 5th August, when I’ll be talking about the Lancashire ‘witches’ in literature. You can sign up for the 10am session or the 7pm session (both GMT) at these links 🎟 10am - eventbrite.co.uk/e/lancashire-g… 7pm - eventbrite.co.uk/e/lancashire-g…
