Since November 2009Author Event Featuring Harriet Evans!
November 2nd, 2010 by Leah
We received an email last week telling us about an author event happening at Richmond Upon Thames Literature Festival, here are the details!:
London Library Reading 1
Harriet Evans & Daisy Goodwin
The Curse of the Pink Cover: Women Writers and the ‘Chick Lit’ Debate
Wednesday 3 November, 7.30pm RACC Studio
£8 (£7)
Why are books reflecting women’s lives so often trivialised? Why do female readers buy books marketed to a male audience, but male readers steer away from so-called ‘chick lit’? Harriet Evans has seen these issues from both sides of the fence: working in the publishing industry as an editor, and now as an established novelist herself. Daisy Godwin has written a novel and a memoir, produced numerous poetry anthologies, presented a documentary series on romance fiction and acted as Chair of the Orange Prize. Together, Harriet and Daisy discuss the publication and reception of ‘women’s writing’.
In association with The London Library
RACC Studio & Queen Charlotte Hall
