Birmingham Book Festival are having an extra one-day festival on 29 May this year. The line-up of events (shamelessly nicked from their website) looks like this:

  • National Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy returns to Birmingham for another much-anticipated reading.
  • Novelist Helen Dunmore talks about her new novel Betrayal.
  • Novelists Amanda Smyth (Black Rock), Aifric Campbell (The Semantics Of Murder, The Loss Adjustor) and Samantha Harvey (The Wilderness) talk about their writing experiences.
  • Writer, Presenter and Broadcaster Stuart Maconie talks about his Adventures on the High Teas and that elusive ‘middle England’.
  • Poet Jo Bell and Novelist Jenn Ashworth come together in Too Much Information, ‘wise wicked and witty words from two lively writers’.

It’ll be held at Birmingham Conservatoire, there’s more detail here and tickets are on sale.
