The University of Lincoln will be supporting this October’s Lincoln Book Festival.
The annual literary festival returns from 5-20 October 2023 with fiction and non-fiction authors from a variety of genres visiting the city for guest talks, discussions and family-friendly creative activities.
Dr Guy Mankowski, Lecturer in Creative Writing in the Lincoln School of Creative Arts, will be in conversation with Nick Banks, from the legendary Britpop band Pulp, on his new book, ‘So It Started There: From Punk to Pulp’ in a festival event on 20 October.
Million copy best-selling fiction writer Christy Lefteri – best known for her international hit debut ‘The Beekeeper of Aleppo — is among other high profile authors who will be discussing their latest works. Other guest authors include:
John Robb
Beth Walker
Emily-Jane Clark
Philippa East
Harper Ford
Sharon Bennett Connolly
Alex Gerlis
Neil R Storey
Daniel Pietersen
Dr Jen Baker
Events take place at the Lincoln Museum (formerly The Collection) on Danes Terrace, Lincoln. Ticketing is provided by the Lincoln Arts Centre through a new collaboration as part of the University’s successful bid for Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) status. This will include appointment of a new festival director to grow the festival in 2024 and beyond, which should produce greater opportunities for staff and student involvement.
