Writing the North

29 Jun 2025

14:30 - 15:30

University of Bradford

What does it mean to write from - and about - the North? Join authors Marcia Hutchinson and Liz Mistry for a conversation exploring Northern identity, representation, and storytelling rooted in place.  

From crime fiction to memoir, their work brings the voices, landscapes, and complexities of the North to life, challenging stereotypes and championing diverse perspectives. Together, they’ll discuss how geography shapes narrative, the publishing industry’s Southern bias, and why Northern stories matter now more than ever.  

Whether you’re a reader, writer, or proud Northerner, this event offers an illuminating journey through the literary landscapes of the North.
