• J L Carr - author and publisher extraordinary

You can commission Glyn to run these, or other events on either a 'stand alone' basis, or as part of your festival.

On the literary front, he specialises in out-of-copyright authors, but is happy to collaborate with others who are still in copyright

As can be seen, Glyn already has a number of shows available 'off the shelf', but he is also happy to produce bespoke presentations to fit a given context (they all start that way).

Enhance not just your event, but also your publicity...
