What a privilege - watching Hamnet at a private screening hosted by the @WomensPrize, based on the Women’s Prize-winning novel (2020) by Maggie O’Farrell. Director Chloé Zhao introduced the film, plus a Q&A w/ Maggie O'Farrell & Co-Producer Liza Marshall. Such a treat!

Apart from the publicity circus that greets Booker winners, it’s also worth noting the additional number of language rights then sold of the winning novel - and often much or all of the authors’ backlist - so the authors are often required to travel the world promoting their foreign editions too.
