EVENTS 2024

Join internationally published, bestselling psychological suspense author Sara Foster for an evening of entertaining about her twenty years working in the publishing industry. Alongside Sara’s stories about writing, you’ll discover the famous feminist she annoyed, the Booker Prize winner she unintentionally offended, the nineties pop star she adored as a tween and ended up working with, and much, much more as Sara takes you behind the scenes of her writing career. Sara will also share stories and highlights from her author career so far and give you a taste of what she’s planning next.

Sara began her career working in the fiction department of HarperCollins London before going freelance as an editor and turning her hand to writing novels: she has published eight so far, with a ninth due out early next year. She wrote The Hush as part of her PhD. She also writes a weekly Substack about creativity and zeitgeist culture called Novel Thoughts and Wild Ideas.
