We are delighted to invite you to hear a conversation with award-winning author of Sorrow and Bliss, Meg Mason.

Sophie, Standing There follows the story of Sophie Pattison, a lovely person. Warm, kind, amazingly positive. She works as a freelance sound technician for literary festivals. She is a massive reader and was recently forced to moved house. She is bracingly lonely. So much so, the absence of others feels like a physical weight, if that makes sense. But then, Sophie discovers an author through work, and comes to adore her. Her books, her interviews, podcasts, and wisdom and brilliance, her beautiful words. It's like, solace and company. It's almost like love. And Sophie would love to meet her, although she never will, obviously. The author would never come to her festival. She's too famous for that. Too brilliant, too beautiful. And in a way, thank goodness, because that would change everything. Sophie's entire life. But ... what if she did?

Tickets are $35 per person, includes a signed copy of Sophie, Standing There
