By Stylist Team

Updated 4 years ago

Are you a self-confessed bookworm? Did you miss browsing old bookshops and attending author events during the pandemic? Us too, and now Stylist’s first ever online Literary Festival is here to fill the void. Join us this month for thought-provoking conversations with all your favourite authors

Here at Stylist, we’ve always had a passion for great storytelling and writing that captures hearts and minds. That’s why this month, we’re hosting our first ever month-long literary festival to celebrate the best new releases in fiction and non-fiction, giving a voice to writers old and new. From Sunday Times bestsellers to Booker Prize nominees, the writers and authors we have lined up are not to be missed.

What to expect

Starting on 1 June and running until 27 June 2021, we’ll be hosting 20 digital events with the likes of Annie MacmanusLisa Taddeo and Raven Leilani taking the virtual stage.

To keep it fresh and exciting, all sessions will fall into themed franchises such as Books & Brunch, Literary Lunches, Bedtime Stories and Brain Boosters. You can expect workshops, panels and key note talks, and we encourage you to come and hear from authors you’ve not heard of as well as the ones you already know and love - you never know when someone new could spark your imagination or inspire you to write your debut novel.

To celebrate the end of the Festival, we will be hosting a closing party at The Hoxton in London on 27 June with very limited tickets.

The Stylist Literary Festival line-up

Throughout the month, we will be hosting both big-name authors and emerging writers. Hear from Matt Haig on why he wanted to write The Comfort Book, Zakiya Dalila Harris revealing the art of building suspense in fiction with Francesca Reece or travel to Tokyo with Emily Itami’s Fault Lines. Plus, ahead of the release her debut novel, Animals, Lisa Taddeo, joins Raven Leilani, author of Luster, in conversation for our festival launch (available now on demand).

If you’re more of a non-fiction fan, why not dip into one of our brain booster sessions to learn how Miranda Levy recovered from severe insomnia or listen to Otegha Uwagba as she explores our complicated relationship with money.

Where to buy the books we will be discussing: 

As part of the Literary Festival, we’ll be supporting Bookshop.org in their mission to help financially support independent bookshops.

After a difficult year of lockdowns and social distancing, local bookshops deserve a bit of love so if you’d like to purchase any of the author’s books, we ask that you do so through the Bookshop.org marketplace.
