Edinburgh International Book Festival 2017

Greetings, Creatures! I attended the Edinburgh International Book Festival programme launch today and I’m thrilled to announce I’ll be at this year’s festival. I’m sharing the stage with South Korean writer Hwang Sok-yong whose book Familiar Things is out now. The event will be chaired by Stuart Kelly. You can buy your tickets from Tuesday 20th June.

As a debut novelist I’m eligible for the First Book Award, so if you enjoyed Goblin you can vote now.
