Announcing... Spineless #4!


We are very excited to announce that Yara Rodrigues Fowler will be our special guest author at the next event in October.

YARA RODRIGUES FOWLER grew up in South London. Her writing and essays have appeared in Vogue, Skin Deep, Litro, and other publications.

Her first novel Stubborn Archivist was published in the UK in February 2019 (Fleet, Little Brown) and will be published in the US in July by HMH.

It’s been called ‘stunning’ by Olivia Laing, ‘visceral and elegant’ by Claire-Louise Bennett and ‘breathtakingly written’ by Nikesh Shukla.  Yara was named one of The Observer’s ‘hottest-tipped’ debut novelists of 2019 and longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize 2019.

Yara is also a trustee of Latin American Women’s Aid, an organisation that runs the only two refuges in Europe for and by Latin American women.


We look forward to seeing you on the 9th October for an 8.30 start. And for those of you keen to know more about our authors from the previous Spineless event, fear not. It's riding high on that to do list. It shall be done.
