On Saturday 5 December, the Twentyin2020 Online Book Festival sponsored by Audible takes place celebrating a new wave of Black British authors. The event is produced by Jacaranda Books – a leading independent publisher – in collaboration with bespoke live events producer FANE Productions and boutique marcomms and talent management agency TGRG. Twentyin2020 showcases 20 Black British authors, many of whom have made their writing debut with Jacaranda.
The online festival will explore the Black experience through the work of the authors. Book lovers will be able to attend sessions including ‘Empowering Black women through Romance Writing’, ‘Between Two Worlds: Exploring Mixed-Race Identity’ and ‘The Poets of #TwentyIn2020’. There will also be conversations with Stella Oni, the author of Deadly Sacrifice, who’ll discuss being a Black female crime writer and Shola von Reinhold whose book, Lote, investigates the censoring of Black queer voices in the arts and literature.
