An Interactive Event for Young Writers
Get inspired by film, television and dystopian classics and discover the ingredients needed for epic worldbuilding!
Join award-winning screenwriter and playwright Moira Buffini as she introduces her debut novel, Songlight, set in a post-apocalyptic future where an advanced form of telepathy has emerged. Anyone found with this sixth sense is caught and persecuted... welcome to the future! An interactive event perfect for budding writers.
They are hunting those who shine . . .
Don’t be deceived by Northaven’s prettiness. In truth, many of its townsfolk are ruthless hunters. They revile those who have developed songlight, the ability to connect telepathically with others. Anyone found with this sixth sense is caught, persecuted and denounced. Lark has lived in grave danger ever since her own songlight emerged. Then she encounters a young woman in peril, from a city far away. An extraordinary bond is forged. But who can they trust?
