Sign in to contactAntonia (Manchester)
Hi! I have recently moved to South Manchester and I’m looking for a weekly/fortnightly book group to meet some new friends. I read a big range of genres and I particularly love 20th and 21st century fiction. Favourite authors at the moment are probably Kazuo Ishiguro, Margaret Atwood, Angela Carter etc but I’m open to whatever!

Christie J. Newport (Preston)
Hi, I am a Preston, Lancashire born and bred award-winning crime thriller author of the Preston Murders series. I am also the co-founder and co-director of Preston Crime Fiction Festival, which is taking place from 25-27 September with 40+ major authors. Headliners are Dorothy Koomson and Alex North but got a lot of incredible, very high calibre authors. I have always loved reading and writing stories but I also have some very rare and debilitating autoimmune (inflammatory) diseases. I love to read as much as I can but I struggle to manage as much as I would like at the moment as my health took another turn (awaiting surgery) and the festival is taking all my "well enough" time. I love crime fiction but I do break them up every so often with a foray into other genres. I have a wide circle of friends within the crime writing community, which is why I have such a great lineup for this festival. I have been on stage at major crime writing festivals around the UK, including Theakston's Old Peculiar (they sold a record 18k tickets), I was on stage with M. W. Craven, Nadine Matheson, Simon Mason and Mark Billingham interviewed us. We were on in the main event tent and it was exceptionally busy! That was a moment and half! I am represented by a top agent in London and have two book deals at present. The advent of AI and celebrity "authors" terrifies me, because it is extremely tough to get a deal and they threaten all creatives... Having said that sometimes I wish I could be a recluse and read and write without all the public stuff, especially when I am flaring badly. These days there are a lot of selfie requests and if you don't like having your pic taken, it's tough luck... lol (I don't btw, in case that wasn't obvious. Some of my favourite go-to authors are Dorothy Koomson, Diant Chamberlain, Lisa Jewell, Adele Parks, Chris Carter, Lesley Kara and so many more... it is impossible to list them all :-) If you want to come to the festival or know others who might - the web address is www.prestoncrimefictionfestival.co.uk

Nicki (Yeovil)
I’m thinking of setting up a (Retro) Crime Book Club in Yeovil. It’s only an idea at the moment to see if there’s any interest. Several people have said to me this is the particular genre they enjoy and they don’t like other groups where anything at all can be selected to read. I’m a published author of murder mysteries and would love to be able to set up my own group.
Sign in to contactCat (Alnwick)
Hi, I’m Cat, I’m 24 and I’ve recently moved to the Alnwick area. I absolutely love reading, particularly romance, thrillers and horror, and I’m hoping to find a local book club where I can meet new people, discover some new books and have a good chat about what everyone’s been reading. I’d love to join a friendly group and get involved!
Sign in to contactJulie (Swanage)
I have (semi) retired and recently rediscovered the joy of reading again. I would love to meet like-minded people for stimulating but not too serious chats about books over tea etc.
Sign in to contactRobin (Bamburgh)

Jack (Weston-super-Mare)
I am twenty-five years old. I prefer to read comics, generally, although I wouldn't consider myself a fan of superheroes; my favourite comic is Watchmen. I'm trying to read traditional novels again since I own a collection of classic novels I've wanted to read for a while, specifically the works of Hermann Hesse. I also take an interest in dark or psychological literature such as Woom and Katabasis, the former of which I recently read, the latter of which I plan to. I'm an aspiring writer, too. I had planned to write my own comic series but, due to a lack of artist talent, fear it may never get off the ground. I would write traditionally if I was able but I have significant trouble with descriptions. Writing comics has allowed me to structure my scenes without interrupting the flow of the story as I would if I was writing a traditional novel. I consider myself eloquent, so writing is a medium I could see myself suited for.
Sign in to contactElisa (Northwood)
Hi! I'm an early 20s book reader who honestly simply wants to be able to share books I like, my thoughts on them, and get book recommendations from other people (and hopefully make some friends!) I enjoy reading most genres, my favourite books are Ready Player One, Metro 2033 and the Shepard King series (if you haven't read it I highly recommend it!) I also love fantasy and suspense thrillers.
