In my capacity as a trustee I was delighted to be at the launch of the new exhibition to celebrate 20 years of @mcrlitfest.bsky.social. Fantastic photos of authors who have appeared at the festival. The exhibition is on in the Reading Room at #Manchester Central Library until the end of the year. 📸

A brilliant @mcrlitfest.bsky.social event this evening with @helenmort.bsky.social & Laura Bates, feeling inspired and incensed after hearing their discussion of sexism and misogyny, deepfakes and AI.
