Find out more about Joelle Taylor.

This event is being organised by the Speech Bubble Co-ordinator for 2023/24, Anna Shipman, an enthusiastic MA student in Creative Writing.

This event is open to everyone (18+) - students, staff and members of the public. 

After her performance, Joelle will be selling and signing copies of her book.

Earlier in the evening (6pm-7pm) there is a special opportunity for students to sit down with Joelle in a Q&A session. It’s a chance to hear more about her career and for budding poets to get some advice. This session is free but must be booked in advance as places are very limited.
