About The Event

Anita Rani, popular presenter and author will be in conversation with festival patron, writer and poet Salena Godden about their recently published books, writing and life. And both will be doing readings to boot. 

To have these two heavy-hitters in the room at the same time will be brilliant.

Anita published her first book The Right Sort of Girl, an autobiography of her upbringing, in 2021; last year she released her debut novel Baby Does a Runner. Salena had a double book launch in May 2024, a new full poetry collection With Love Grief and Fury, and her childhood memoir Springfield Road - A Poet’s Childhood Revisited.

Reanna Valentine will be opening for Anita and Salena. Reanna is the author of two poetry collections: ‘Mad Again’ (Written Off Publishing) and the Saboteur Award-nominated ‘Fragmented Light’, with their grandmother Carolyn Reed.  

This promises to be a great event to end…
