WRITE Festival: Crossing Genres with Nancy Revell - From Historical Saga to Contemporary Crime

In conversation with author Amanda Revell Walton, who also writes under the penname Nancy Revell.

Amanda / Nancy is author of the Sunday Times bestselling series 'The Shipyard Girls', and is now writing a contemporary crime series, 'Hacks', which draws heavily on her years as a tabloid journalist.

Come along for a chat - and with lots of questions!

Amanda / Nancy is also happy to sign books (old and new) at the end of the session - to make up for the number of signings being cancelled over the past couple of years!

£3 per person. Suitable for ages 16+.

Booking is required.

About Nancy Revell

Nancy Revell is the author of the Shipyard Girls series, which is set in the north-east of England during World War II.

She is a former journalist who worked for all the national newspapers, providing them with hard-hitting news stories and in-depth features. Nancy also wrote amazing and inspirational true-life stories for just about every woman's magazine in the country.

When she first started writing the Shipyard Girls series, Nancy relocated back to her hometown of Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, along with her husband, Paul, and their English bull mastiff, Rosie. They lived just a short walk away from the beautiful award-winning beaches of Roker and Seaburn, within a mile of where the books are set.

The subject is particularly close to Nancy's heart as she comes from a long line of shipbuilders, who were well known in the area.
