Author
readings announced for inaugural event industry sleepover
Top
authors, Haley Hill and Amanda Prowse, will be reading from their own works as
part of a rich and varied programme for the first ever, event industry
sleepover to take place on 17 September at Olympia London. This all night event exclusively for
women and in aid of Macmillian Cancer Trust and Breast Cancer Now charities, offers
something for everyone, with book readings added to cocktail mixing classes,
yoga, film screenings and much more.
Haley Hill will be reading from her debut
novel It’s Got to be Perfect , which draws on first hand
stories she encountered after a dramatic career change in her mid-twenties.
Haley went from working in the pharmaceutical industry to becoming the founder
of the Elect Club dating agency, the UK’s leading matchmaking agency. Anecdotes
resulting from that time resulted in this cracking novel, which reached both
No. 1 in the Amazon Humour and the Hot New Releases charts.
Amanda Prowse is a bestselling novelist and short story writer. Her
latest works include A Mother’s Story and Perfect
Daughter. Her many successes include being Writer in Residence on ITV’s This
Morning, achieving wide fame with her debut novel Poppy Day and
