SUMMARY:Liverpool Central Library: Liverpool Central Library: WowFest: Bann
 ed Book Club: Writers Marketplace
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nBANNED BOOK CLUB: WRITER’S MARKETPLACE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\
 n\n\n\nStep into the world of literary rebellion and celebrate the power o
 f words at the Banned Book Club: Writer’s Marketplace! \n\nIn 2023\, P
 EN America counted 3\,362 book bans affecting 1\,557 unique titles in U
 S schools. The authors targeted are predominantly female\, Black and/or LG
 BTQ+ writers. (https://pen.org/) The practice of banning books contributes
  to a growing climate of censorship and silencing the voices we need to he
 ar the most.  \n\nThey say when America sneezes\, the UK gets a cold. Al
 though banning books is not happening here right now\, the climate in Brit
 ain is becoming increasing repressive and cold. \n\nAt our Banned Book C
 lub Marketplace we’re encouraging the sale of as many banned books as p
 ossible – highlighting female\, LGBTQ+\, black voices and more. \n\nAre
  you a writer?  At the Banned Book Club Marketplace connect with renown
 ed authors\, publishers\, activists and booksellers for professional advic
 e on getting your work seen by agents and publishing houses and explore an
  array of banned books!  \nWe’ll have performances\, readings and more
  throughout the day. Join us\, grab a book\, and become a member of the Ba
 nned Book Club!\n\nFeaturing:\n\n 	TAUK Publishing\n 	News From Nowhere\n 
 	Comma Press\n 	Northodox\n 	Liverpool Literary Agency\n 	Zoe Richards\n
