This was, truly, the most fun event I've ever been a part of - and the turnout was HUGE! Such an amazing evening, thanks to the organisers, the staff, the other authors, and all those who came along. It's a joy to have something like this up north. Make sure you get along to next year's event!
WHAT A NIGHT!!
We just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone involved in making It's Strange Up North 2025 such an incredible success! The authors, the attendees, the publishers, the waterstones staff, the organisers, we could not be more grateful for all you've done!

Please could you help me to spread the word about my swashbuckling adventure story with a pirate protagonist, sapphic romance, with a dash of werewolves and vampires? My latest novel THE VENGEANCE is available in all formats geni.us/thevengeance Perfect for escaping the horrors of our time.

I had the most incredible time at @strangeupnorth.bsky.social in Leeds yesterday. Such a wonderful event where I got to chat to just the loveliest bunch of SFF readers. Thank you to everyone who came and said hello and took a chance on a new author - you made my evening very special!

Had an absolutely wonderful time at @strangeupnorth.bsky.social last night. I met so many lovely people, got to reconnect with lovelies I haven't seen for years and wall-to-wall booklovers. Thanks to the team for inviting me!

So @strangeupnorth.bsky.social last night at Leeds Waterstones was an amazing event. Met some lovely people and signed lots of copies of Withered Hill & Scuttler’s Cove, and gave a lot of people crabs 🦀 (insert your own gag). Failed to take any pix though.

I'll be at ISUN later, not in an official signing capacity but in a hanging-out-with-my-author-friends capacity. See some of you there!
🎵 One Day More! 🎵

But there will be no miserable faces tomorrow! Even the weather has seen the error of its ways and understands we cannot risk the precious books getting wet!

And what books they are!

What are you bringing to get signed? What are you planning on buying? Who's excited???

The weather may be turning grim but don't worry, it's not apocalypse time yet!
Just make sure to keep the rain away from the books, okay?

4 days to go & exciting things are happening!

Tote bags & booklets & what else could these dragons be hiding...

To avoid a bottleneck trying to get in, we're changing things up slightly. From 5pm, Waterstones staff will come to the shop entrance & start checking tickets & giving out tote bags
