Faber & Vanguard

Vanguard Readings is delighted to be invited once again to run an event at the Margate Bookie. We have held events for the Bookie every year and we are honoured to take part! This year, we are proud to present some of the latest cohort of Faber Academy debut novelists.
Readers are on alphabetically, reading for around 10 minutes each.

Appearing this year are the actress Susannah Wise, Reuters foreign correspondent Rosalind Russell, food and travel writer Laura Price and Giles Fraser and Hannah Tovey, graduates of the country’s most successful creative writing course at the Faber Academy. Their fiction embraces a number of contemporary themes and genres, from thriller to comedy, and tries to make sense of the extraordinary times we live in.

Readings start at 3:30pm. Free entry, all welcome.

Vanguard Readings, founded in 2011, is a platform for new writers & established authors to perform their work. Vanguard Editions, founded in 2014, is a specialist press with a commitment to diversity in writing and a strong visual identity.
