The
Midlands in Writing
Lisa Blower and Emma Purshouse,
chaired by Kit de Waal

Lisa
Blower (award-winning short story writer: Sitting Ducks; It's
Gone Dark Over Bill's Mother's; Pondweed) and Emma Purshouse
(Common People anthology; Dogged) bring the
Midlands to the page in their latest novels Pondweed and Dogged.
Brimming
with unlikely heroes and the voices of working-class people from
the Black Country and Stoke-on-Trent, their books bring the
accents and dialects from across the Midlands to an audience not
used to hearing it, nor seeing it on the page.
Lisa and
Emma will be in conversation with Kit de Waal, author and
campaigner for more representation of working-class writers in
literature and the publishing industry.
