From Jenny Hill…

The Sunday Book Fair is a new addition to the Festival, and I’m doing an author talk at 2.30 on Sunday 31 May. There are chances to read work too, and I’m heading a Session on Saturday 30th at 2.30, so if anyone would like to participate in that, please contact me via the Whitby Writers Group Contact page.
