UEA Live returns in the spring with a fantastic line-up of award-winning authors.

First-up we’re joined by UEA alum and best-selling author Emma Healey (Elizabeth Is Missing) as she discusses her new novel Sweat for an event in partnership with the National Centre for Writing.

In partnership with Norfolk Screen, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter and award-winning author, Nick Hornby, will be visiting UEA to share insights into his career, inspirations, and the challenges and successes of his work.

In March we will welcome writer and broadcaster Simon Mayo MBE following the release of his latest novel Black Tag. Mayo’s previous books include the Sunday Times bestseller Knife Edge, the Times Thriller of the Year Tick Tock, and the Itch trilogy.

Natasha Brown follows soon after for an in-conversation about her newest work Universality. Named one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists in 2023, Brown’s debut novel Assembly was shortlisted for awards including the Folio Prize, the Goldsmiths Prize and the Orwell Prize for Fiction.

Author and food writer Kate Young rounds off the season to talk about her first novel Experienced – a queer romcom set in Bristol. Young is known for her award-winning Little Library Cookbooks which feature recipes inspired by beloved works of literature.
