Fridays Author spotlight for the Sandon Literature Festival~ tickets are on sale online x So you want to write a novel. And you have the kernel of an idea. But where do you go next? Do you create the characters first? Or research and conjure the setting? Or plot out the plot? And once you’ve done all that, how do you keep going to the end, maintaining the suspense as you write? Come and hear from two novelists who have been there, and done that, several times over. You’ll come away with plenty of tips and insights! Jane Bailey is the author of seven novels, including Lark Song, What Was Rescued and Tommy Glover’s Sketch of Heaven. She has been shortlisted for the Dillons Fiction Prize and the RNA Awards. Set in 1966, her latest novel is Sorry Isn’t Good Enough, a coming-of-age mystery with a dark core. Caroline Montague – Sandon’s own Lady Harrowby – is the author of four historical novels including An Italian Affair and Shadows Over the Spanish Sun. Her fifth novel has just been hatched and will be published in 2023. Sandon Literature Festival is delighted to partner with Waterstones in Stafford. They will be provide a full range of books to purchase after each event when there will also be an author signing. Sandon Literature Festival is proud to support Staffordshire Women's Aid who have been providing services against Domestic and Sexual Violence since 1976. All profits from the event will be donated to this registered charity.

Sandon Literature Festival Author Spotlight~ Tracy Borman Saturday 10th September 2pm-3pm In 2022, Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her Platinum Jubilee and her 70th year on the British throne - by far the longest reign of any British monarch. Inspired by this momentous event, "Crown & Sceptre", the latest book by renowned historian Tracy Borman – who is also Joint Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces- explores the tumultuous history of the British monarchy. Taking in 1,000 years of royal history from 1066 to the present day, Domesday Book to Magna Carta, the Field of Cloth of Gold to Prince William’s wedding, she charts this iconic institution. We’re delighted to welcome Tracy for an illustrated talk in which she will introduce some of her favourite monarchs and share a few of the secrets behind the crown’s remarkable survival.

The countdown is officially on for the Sandon Literature Festival on Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th September. Over the next few weeks we will be highlighting the fantastic lineup for the weekend, so stay tuned and get involved. First up in order of appearance is the incredibly inspiring author Stuart Lawrence speaking about his book~Silence is not an option you can impact the world for change! Tickets are available via our website and all profits will be going to @staffswomensaid
