First Fiction – Debut Novels as part of Red Line Book Festival 2026

About the event

Two debut novelists, two very different paths to publication.

Join Rebecca Murphy, author of Blood and Water, and Jen Bray, author of The Lies Between Us, as they discuss the journeys that brought their first novels into the world. From writing competitions and scholarships to balancing fiction with a busy career in journalism, Rebecca and Jennifer will share the highs and lows along the road to becoming published authors and getting that first book over the line! They will be interviewed by Chloe Cowman, better known as @nursefancypants, popular bookstagrammer and passionate advocate for books and reading.

*Please note this show is in our studio space with unallocated seating. Please arrive early. Latecomers will not not be admitted.
