It’s our last Litopia After Dark before our summer break – we’ll be back live and kicking on Friday 13th of August, do join us in the chatroom to celebrate – and we’re certainly going out with an all-star bang!

We have not one but two divine divas of writing and podcasting – from New Zealand, award-winning author Philippa Ballantine, and  from Durham, North Carolina, #1 bestselling author Mur Lafferty.  But that’s not all – from the heart of British publishing, we have YA author and publishing industry expert Graham Marks – and from England’s West Country, writer and Litopia stalwart Dave Bartram. All this plus our own inimitable Eve Harvey reporting from an ebullient chatroom – and you’ve got sixty minutes of the finest thinking-person’s entertainment you’ll find on the net!

Do join us live in the chatroom for our next show on Friday 13th August (don’t forget to diary it!) – we’ll kick off at 8pm UK / 3pm EST here!
