The latest exciting addition to the Conference programme is film writer and graphic novelist Mike Carey (DC Comics, 2000 AD, Marvel), who will join the entertaining and revealing rapid-fire slide show, Canon Tales, on Saturday June 14th. Mike says: ‘I’m delighted to take part as it looks like it will be an amazing event.’ Others who will bare their writing souls in Canon Tales include novelist Kamila Shamsie whose sixth novel, A God in Every Stone, has recently been published to rapturous acclaim. Granta Editor Max Porter, whose magic touch helped Eleanor Catton’s The Luminaries win the Booker Prize and become an international best-seller, will also be appearing, alongside YA Literary Agent Hannah Sheppard from DH Literary Agency.
