It will gather together more than 25 authors from up and down the country for a loaded day of interviews, panels, workshops and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Event co-ordinator Alex Davis said: \u201cEdge-Lit has been a firm feature on Derby\u2019s writing calendar, as well as the national genre fiction calendar, for over a decade now and we\u2019re looking forward to another big year in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
