As the year comes to a close, we’ve been reflecting on the wonderful author events we’ve enjoyed in 2023. The success of these events, as I’m sure anyone who has attended would concur, is much due to the incredible local identities who have generously donated their time and energy to be the conversation partners. We appreciate the lengthy preparation involved in what always seem like relaxed, casual conversations.

These events simply couldn’t take place without these conversation partners and we thank them enormously.

Finally, to our wonderful customers, our heartfelt appreciation for your ongoing support. We wish all of you a safe and happy festive season, and the very best for 2024.
