Hi Guys,
Busy weeks ahead for sure with Discover Festival as the flyers hits the shelves and the schedule continues to take shape - we're almost there with our event line-up, and today I'm delighted to announce two new speakers for the weekend in the shape of ANNE LYLE and AMANDA RUTTER.
Anne Lyle was born in what was once the heart of Sherwood Forest, and has been fascinated by English history and folklore ever since. She now lives in Cambridge, an equally historic corner of the realm, where cattle still graze on the common land as they did in Marlowe's day. Despite these archaic leanings, however, she’s a thoroughly 21st century citizen: full-time web developer, part-time blogger and obsessive Twitterer.
Her debut fantasy novel The Alchemist of Souls, set in Elizabethan London, is out this spring from Angry Robot Books, with two sequels to follow. The Alchemist of Souls has already been getting great reviews, so Anne is a name you will certainly be hearing more from.
Amanda Rutter is editor at Strange Chemistry, Angry Robot's new young adult imprint, which will be launching its first titles in September 2012. With a host of exciting names already signed up to write for the imprint, Amanda will be bringing her expertise on the business of publishing in this fascinating area of fiction to audiences at the Discover Festival. Amanda has also edited for Morrigan Books, and spent many years running the very popular Floor to Ceiling Books blog.
Two more great names for the Discover Festival, and very excited to welcome both Anne and Amanda on board - for all the latest, and to book your tickets for the event, check out www.discoverfestival.co.uk
