The Hooker Prize

3056858727_ce1f6b6f02Litopia After Dark this week is plunging further into the murky depths of the literary world than we have ever been before, as we deliberate the question – Vice: is it any good?

We look at the sin of shoplifting books, the evil-doing of downloading e-books and the depravity of failing to return library books. And as we plummet, the panel discuss literally pitching your work and the wrath that may result… the sloth of Thesaurus use… the lust of the madam memoir.

By the time we’ve settled at the bottom of the pit, all that remains is the question of literary vice – naughty or nice?

The deviant panellists this week are Dave Bartram, Donna Ballman and Eve Harvey. And you should have been in the chatroom at 8pm GMT on Friday, it was wicked!
