WGS Author Event

On February the 1st, myself and a group of Sixth Form students were fortunate enough to attend the ‘Brave Women in Fiction’ event at nearby Wolverhampton Grammar School. This was a fantastic opportunity to listen to four incredible YA authors talking about their work, inspirations and the writing process. The authors were Melinda Salisbury (‘The Sin Eater’s Daughter’), Sara Barnard (‘Beautiful Broken Things’), Catherine Doyle (‘Inferno’) and Katherine Webber (‘Wing Jones’). It was great to hear them talk with real warmth about the characters they have created and what inspires them as people and as writers. We got a chance to ask a few questions at the end, and there was a meet and greet as well! Thanks to Zoe Rowley and Duncan McAllister at WGS for inviting us, it was fab!

A few of us with Catherine Doyle, the author of the ‘Vendetta’ trilogy

Katherine Webber, the (super enthusiastic and very sweet!) author of ‘Wing Jones’

Sara Barnard, author of ‘Beautiful Broken Things’ and ‘A Quiet Kind of Thunder’

All of their books (some now signed!) are available in the school library – come and grab a copy or make a reservation!
