"...a literary event with a difference."
Robert McCrum, Guardian
Harpercollins Publisher
and Bookman Extraordinaire Scott Pack hosts an afternoon of conversation and banter with a cracking
line-up of guest writers:
Mick Jackson - Booker prize nominee and author of The Widow's Tale
Robert Hudson - Author of The Kilburn Social Club
Lesley Thomson - Author of A Kind of Vanishing
Don't expect the polite, reserved atmosphere you would normally find
at a literary gathering - The Book Swap is irreverent, entertaining and
slightly chaotic. You won't hear boring speeches, the same old questions
or authors reading from their latest book - but you could witness
almost anything else.
And you could think of 'Author Question Time' as your opportunity to quiz the panel on any topic you wish; their latest story ideas; their favourite names for pets or even who they think will make the Wimbledon finals this year - it's up to you!

"this is exactly the kind of...local event that publishers should be really encouraging, a sort of cross between a public reading and a book group."
- Emma Townshend, Independent
"Certainly a literary event with a difference... I wouldn't be at
all surprised if the Book Swap evening doesn't become the popular way
to mix books, writers and the reading public."
- Robert McCrum,
