The Margate Bookie offers readings and workshops with established authors, rising literary stars and breakout local talent.
From Thursday 17 to Sunday 20 August, more than 25 author readings, interactive sessions, workshops and talks will take place at venues in Margate, including the iconic Turner Contemporary, Sands Hotel and Bernie’s Chocolate Bar. Many of the events will be free-of-charge.
The programme features: leading music writer and critic, Barney Hoskyns; the UK’s top-selling female historian, Alison Weir; Margate’s own Daisy Buchanan talking about her debut book How to be a Grown Up.
