Calibre Audio, the pioneering audiobook charity celebrating 50 years of making reading accessible to everyone, has announced two in-person events.
As part of its ongoing Calibre Conversations Festival, Louie Stowell and Natalie Marlow will give talks at The Library of Birmingham on October 21.
Louie Stowell (pictured above), the acclaimed writer of the Loki: A Bad God’s Guide series of books will give an interactive talk at 4.30pm on how she summons her writing powers and crafts stories both witty and magical in an event aimed at young people, carers and new writers alike.
At 7.15pm author Natalie Marlow will discuss her crime novels Needless Alley and its follow up The Red Hollow as well as her fascination for the people and landscapes of the Midlands, along with the twists and turns that uncover her journey as a novelist to date.
Tickets to the event cost £5 and are available at https://www.calibreaudio.org.uk/
Calibre Audio will also announce the winner of its recent ‘Inclusive Voices’ competition which encouraged everyone to share original stories of 550 words or less that feature a character with a print disability.
