Kei Miller, Di Speirs

Come and hear the panel debate the popularity and staying power of the short story. The appeal of the short story has never been so great as it is now, but how is it adapting to future times?

Will the long form novel become obsolete? Is the short story undergoing a gentle ‘evolution’ or is this a ‘revolution’? Is the short story future-proof? Hear the panel discuss these issues and more.

In celebration of the 2016 BBC National Short Story Award with Booktrust, the panel will include the 2016 BBC NSSA winner plus judges Kei Miller and Di Speirs.
