Leeds Lit Fest 2026

Join Northodox Press authors Carolyn Kirby, A.D Bergin, Carolyn O'Brien, Rachel Canwell and Rue Baldry for a relaxed and entertaining discussion about the nature of northern based historical fiction.

With a plethora of award's lists attached to their names, including the HWA Debut Crown, Crimefest/The Specsavers Award, The Bridport Prize and The First Novel Prize, their books tackle tough topics such as class, gender and sexuality in novels with a distinctly northern twang and gripping, thought-provoking plots. While these novels look to the past, their themes are still (at times frighteningly) relevant today. A panel not to be missed!
