About this Event
Bluemoose Books started 20 years ago in Hebden Bridge when Hetha and Kevin re-mortgaged their house to find and publish stories the corporates thought too risky or not profitable enough. Their writers have won or been short listed for 31 literary prizes with two books adapted for BBC Television - The Gallows Pole by Benjamin Myers and Leonard and Hungry Paul by Rónán Hession. Kevin's dined with a Duke sold another Duke a boiler and chatted to Hollywood royalty with a real royal thrown in for good measure and created the 'world's first One Book Bookshop.' But what they're most proud of is establishing an Independent publisher in the North of England that champions voices and stories from the margins which are read and celebrated around the world.
Come and celebrate 20 years of the award-winning independent publisher Bluemoose Books at The Book Corner, with the launch of Kevin Duffy's new book 'Bluemoose Books: Hebden To Hollywood'.
