WRAP is back with another live literary event, this time with brilliant Faber and Penguin writer Ashley Hickson-Lovence.

Ashley will be in conversation with poet and WRAP Director Becky Cullen.

Ashley was born in London in 1991 and is a former secondary school English teacher. He is currently completing his PhD in Creative and Critical Writing at the University of East Anglia and is a Lecture of Creative Writing at the Arts University Bournemouth. In his spare time, using his experience as a football referee, he formally observes semi-professional referees for the FA. His debut novel ‘The 392’ was released with OWN IT! in April 2019. His second novel ‘Your Show’, based on the life and career of former Black football referee Uriah Rennie, was released with Faber in April 2022.

You can enjoy this event in person or watch the livestream on YouTube.
