BAFTA-winning television producer and author of novels for both adults and children, Lissa Evans joins Bootle-born author, screenwriter and Reader Patron, Frank Cottrell-Boyce to chat all things children’s books; their writing, their favourite reads from way back when and the power of the imagination.
They’ll be talking about how they tackle the most raw and painful experiences of being human when writing for children and the important role that humour plays when considering those parts of life that feel almost too overwhelming to put down on paper.
There will be readings, reflections and plenty of opportunities for questions from the audience.
