Live session from the Royal Literary Fund's 'Collected' podcast where award-winning writers discuss the authors who inspired them, followed by an audience Q&A.
Emma Pass, Zöe Marriott and Caroline Cauchi are coming to Lindum Books on Friday 23 October, for a live evening called Collected: The Writers Who Inspire Me. It's a live extension of Collected, the Royal Literary Fund's podcast, and the whole thing is built around the writers talking about the authors who got them into writing in the first place.
The three of them open the conversation by drawing on the RLF archive, each bringing in the writers who inspired them to pick up a pen. It's a bit of a peek behind the curtain, too — the RLF archive holds the working lives of writers, so they're not just talking about the finished books on the shelf, but the process and the people who shaped their own work. It's a rare chance to hear some of the East Midlands' most exciting contemporary writers talk about their influences in a room rather than through a screen.
Once they've had their say, the floor opens up for an audience Q&A, so you can ask your own questions and keep the conversation going. If you've ever wondered what actually goes into a writer's head, or where they get their ideas from, this is exactly that sort of night.
