Stuart Robertson will discuss his journey from journalism to fiction and his first two novels.
This session will include an insight into the writing process; tips on how to get published and an exclusive reading from his upcoming third novel, Stand By Me.
The 40-year-old, from Helmshore, left the busy life in the newsroom after more than a decade and became a stay-at-home-dad and committed to becoming a fiction writer.
In that time he has published two novels, ‘Time to say goodbye’ and ‘If ever I fall’
His first novel sold more than 80,000 copies and was translated into 10 languages.
