Episode 7: Live event
Recorded live at the amazing Phoenix Court Works this stunning episode of The Power of a Book podcast invites a panel of four multi award-winning authors to each choose a book to donate to The Children’s Book Project. A kind of love letter to the joy of reading.
Recorded in front of a live audience with Tracy Chevalier, Jessie Burton, Patrice Lawrence and Francesca Simon, this animated discussion is a little window into our guest’s creative process. The influences, the inspiration, the “what if…” mindset.
PLUS we discover the surprising books they’ve chosen to donate to The Children’s Book Project. And why. Delivering not quite the soundtrack of their lives, but the literary yarns that knit it together.
THREE BOOKS, THREE STORIES
Our guests each select three titles that reveal a personal story:
- Childhood Favourite - the book that shaped who they are today
- Shared Book - a book read with someone special
- Gift to the Future - a title they wish to donate to inspire another child
