Date: 26th Sept 2024

Time: 6:30pm doors for 7:00 start – 8:30pm

Location: Mill Hill Chapel, Leeds

Join Hold Fast Bookshop (the independent book shop moored on the docks) as they celebrate the release of a new book of short stories by writer S J Bradley – ‘Maps of Imaginary Towns’.

About the book: From a futuristic colony where a woman dreams of rockets, to a drab estate where a girl finds magic, SJ Bradley’s inventive and experimental stories showcase remarkable range. Vividly rendered, they illuminate quiet despairs and heroisms pulsing through seemingly ordinary lives. With empathy and lyrical prose, Bradley transports readers into psychologically rich neighbourhoods where reinvention flickers amid life’s constricting boundaries. Gritty yet tender, Maps of Imaginary Towns interrogates grief, ambition, belonging, and traces the hard-won solace of small acts of courage.

SJ Bradley lives in Leeds and is the author of ‘Brick Mother’ and ‘Guest’.

She will be in conversation with Stu Hennigan, author of the award winning ‘Ghost Signs’
