In this episode of Authors' Matters, we talk to novelist and essayist Priya Basil, one of around 30,000 ALCS members who live and work outside the UK.
It's also awards season at ALCS and to celebrate we'll be hearing from Michaela Morgan, one of the judges of this year's ALCS Educational Writers' Award, and Tom Palmer, winner of the 2019 Ruth Rendell Award for outstanding contribution to literacy.
We also chat with Jonathan Douglas, Chief Executive of the National Literacy Trust the organisation behind the Ruth Rendell Award, about why advancing literacy in the UK is more vital than ever.
We'll also be bringing you news of the ALCS AGM, held this year in Newcastle upon Tyne, along with the result of the recent Board elections.
