Edge-Lit

21/09/2025

Just wanted to hop on to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported Edge-Lit yesterday! All our great authors and speakers taking part, the superb (as always) volunteer team, the excellent squad at QUAD throughout the day, all the fantastic publishers who supported us, to our fabulous booksellers at the event and also to everyone who came along and joined us for the day! I will get to you all individually soon enough but will be relaxing for the rest of today 🙂
