Local Author Book Fair

This event brings together emerging and established local authors to showcase their work and connect with readers. You’ll be able to purchase books directly from authors and learn more about the vibrant literary talent around Crystal Palace.

Closing the event, Wendy Sacks Jones (The Candidate’s Husband) chairs a panel featuring author Sofia Robleda-Gomez, poet Jenny Mitchell, nature writer Amanda Tuck (and more to be confirmed).

4.30pm to 5.30pm, Through a Local Lens asks; how does a writer’s local environment shape the stories they tell? The panel will explore the influence of locality, its history, communities, landscapes, and daily rhythms, on their work.

If you are a local author and would like to take part in the fair, we would love to hear from you. Please email Zoey at zcdixon@lambeth.gov.uk
