The Novel Voices series features Ellah P. Wakatama in conversation with debut authors about their craft and the journey to shaping their first published full body of work. These works will span across genres as the series seeks to explore a range of narratives that reflect the new voices that have and will be shaping the literary landscape of 2021.
The first online event in the series welcomes Heba Hayek, a London-based writer born and raised in Gaza, Palestine. She completed an MFA in Creative Writing at Miami University, Ohio, and is studying for an MA in Social Anthropology at SOAS University of London, where she is working on an autoethnography about Gazan women in the US and the UK. Heba has been involved in several activist movements, including for BDS, prison abolition and demilitarisation.
Presented by Blackwell’s Manchester in partnership with Creative Manchester and the Centre for New Writing.
