Join author Claire Linney for an interactive session that brings historical settings to life in a fictional and creative way. She’ll work with the audience to create a framework for a time travel story before letting them have a go themselves. There will be a reading from her book too and discussions about different story telling devices.
Claire Linney worked in marketing for over twenty years, until stumbling across Black Tudors: The Untold story inspired her to want to bring the too often hidden stories of Black British history to life for the next generation. She is passionate about the need for more stories highlighting people of African descent throughout British history and advocating for diverse representation in children’s literature. Her debut children’s book Time Tub Travellers and the Silk Thief won the Ink Book Prize and was highly commended in the Selfies book awards 2025.
