Novelist Naomi Alderman reads from her work as part of a new series of free author events for autumn 2011, organised by the Manchester Writing School and presented in partnership with the Burgess Foundation. She will be reading from and talking about her work, and answering questions from the audience. Refreshments will be available to purchase from the bar, and Blackwell’s will be running a special book stall, with signing, after each event. All are welcome – no need to book. This series is sponsored by the Midland Hotel, Manchester. For hotel reservations: phone 0845 074 0600 or click here.
