The Riff Raff is an event for aspiring authors and lovers of new writing. We hear from five debut authors with a recently published book.

This is your chance to:

* Hear new work from exciting debut authors first...

* Ask questions of authors who only recently made the leap onto Step One of that daunting publishing ladder…

* Snap up signed copies of books...

* Seek inspiration for your own masterpiece…

* And, most importantly, to make friends with people who understand that trying to write a book is HARD.

****************************************************************

At our September event, we're joined by the following incredible writers:

Michael Donkor, author of Hold - Moving between Ghana and London, Hold is an intimate, powerful coming-of-age novel. It’s a story of friendship and family, shame and forgiveness; of learning what we should cling to, and when we need to let go.

Helen Cullen, author of The Lost Letters of William Woolf - A beautifully-written, moving story set in the Dead Letters department of an East London depot. An original and refreshing novel about lost love.

Katherine Kilalea author of OK, Mr Field - Funny, beguiling and like nothing you've ever read. It dwells in the silences between words, in the gaps in conversations, and in the distances between people. It confidently guides us into new fictional territory.

Damian Dibben, author of Tomorrow - An original and ambitious tail (!!) which follows a 217-year old dog as he searches for his master (Please excuse the pun).

Anna-Marie Crowhurst, author of The Illumination of Ursula Flight - A gutsy coming-of-age story about a spirited young woman struggling to lead a creative life. For anyone who has ever tried to succeed against the odds.
