The Shearsman Reading Series was created in order to provide a regular venue for readings by Shearsman authors, past and present, and generally serves as a launch-pad for a newly-published volume. The series features mainly UK-based writers, but we do try to arrange for visiting authors from outside the country to be included wherever possible. Readings usually feature two authors.

For details of all other readings featuring Shearsman authors—i.e. those not organised by the press—click on News in the menu on the left of this page.
