In the suitably atmospheric setting of Imperial War Museum North, we present two of the region’s hottest talents, who both have war-themed short story collections coming out with Manchester’s Comma Press. Zoe Lambert's book The War Tour is inspired by the stories of refugees from various war-torn countries. Michelle Green is working on a collection of stories all set in West Darfur, where she worked for an humanitarian aid centre amidst the ongoing conflict. Come and hear their moving stories, and join the discussion about their different approaches to research and the challenges of creating authentic fiction drawn from real experience.
