Read Them Your Writes is back in Newcastle this Thursday after it's spooky special edition last month at #DBF23 - a guaranteed lovely evening to brighten this rainy week (and a stellar line-up too!) Tickets from £3 ➡️ newwritingnorth.com/event/rtyw/

If you missed this year's literary walk at #DBF23 , not to worry: our guide Ruth Robson has created a map, with accompanying audio, so that you can follow the historic 'Cuddy's Course' route yourself - whatever day (or weather) suits you! 🌄

For #DBF23 we commissioned historian Prof Janina Ramirez to write a special piece on the female contemporaries of St Cuthbert, and the powerful – often overlooked – ways in which they contributed to history.
You can read her brilliant essay here: newwritingnorth.com/journal/essay-…

A very big congratulations to the brilliant Benjamin Myers . Bringing Cuddy to life at the festival this year was such a special event - we're thrilled to see this book being celebrated by The Goldsmiths Prize !

Incredible news Benjamin Myers! Congratulations from all at NWN

Missing us? DBF may be over, but you can get your fix with another exciting book event in Newcastle on Monday!
Francis Spufford, author of Golden Hill & Light Perpetual, will be joining us at @biscuit_factory to celebrate his brand-new book Cahokia Jazz 🥂

What a weekend we had in Durham! 😍
Thank you to everyone who made it possible – writers, speakers, venues, volunteers, staff, partners, funders... and, of course, everyone who came along in person or online. We couldn't do it without you!
See you next time... 📚

“Failure is fertile soil for new accomplishments” - Charlotte Van den Broeck and her brilliant book in translation Bold Ventures. A lovely end to this years festival with our friends Collected Books Durham 😊

A very special event for us and for Co. Durham: a world-exclusive live reading from Benjamin Myers' Cuddy, inspired by St Cuthbert's life and journey to his final resting place in Durham. Directed by Jack McNamara, performed by Toby Jones, Samantha Neale and The Shining Levels.

Our last event in the Studio is the PoetryBookSoc showcase, a total treat of new poetry from Kit Fan , Mary Jean Chan and the wonderful Jen Campbell (is mostly elsewhere) joining us digitally too #DBF23

Thank you Durham Book Festival for yesterday’s super-busy event with the brilliant Ellie Crewes & Carla Josephson - could have talked with them for hours! And thank you also for putting us in this ludicrously beautiful hotel (first pic thanks to Naomi Kelsey)

Fascinating discussion this afternoon about how the health system was founded to take care of us - and how today we are anxious to ‘Protect the NHS’ Isabel Hardman #DBF23

We’ve got a captivated audience for Pip Fallow talking to Michael Chaplin about being ‘Dragged Up Proppa’ in County Durham #DBF23
