Whitby Lit Fest was exhausting, and at times stressful, but ultimately an absolute joy. Massive thanks to CauseUK for their excellent work, to all the authors, volunteers and my colleagues on the committee. A job well done.

And yes, that is me chatting with Lee Child.

The #WhitbyLitFest was amazing, from opening the festival with a monologues workshop to ending it by watching an interview with the wonderful Sir Alan Ayckbourn. Roll on 19–22 November 2026 for the second edition!

The last LitFest event was Alan Ayckbourn in conversation with Kate Fenton. The Stephen Joseph in Scarborough was a large part of my adolescent education, and played its part in my decision to study Theatre, which led inevitably to becoming a writer. #WhitbyLitfest
