St Ann's Square, Manchester
10am-5pm (Readings noon-5pm)
The Manchester Book Market brings the best independently produced novels, poetry, short fiction, art books, sci-fi, horror and non-fiction right to your doorstep, at a time when high street bookshops are growing increasingly conservative...
Situated in the bustling St Ann’s Square, just off Deansgate, the market’s a great place to browse, grab a coffee, buy a book, and listen to live readings from the best in the region's spoken word talent...
Aspiring writers can also meet representatives from the North’s finest independent presses – including Peepal Tree, Route, Comma, Crocus/Commonword, Dreamcatcher, Flapjack, Nightjar, Satchel/Suitcase, Night Jar, Hidden Gem, Interzone, and many others. So if you’re an aspiring writer, why not make contact with publishers and put your name about?
