The Siobhan Dowd Trust Memorial Lecture: Matt Haig (2015 Event)
Award-winning author Siobhan Dowd died in 2007, bequeathing her royalties to a trust which aims to bring the joy of reading to those who need it most. This year the Siobhan Dowd Trust Memorial Lecture was delivered by novelist Matt Haig, whose books for children, teens and adults brilliantly and cleverly explore the stories that connect us and what it means to be human. Chaired by Tony Bradman, this event was recorded live at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
