Hello, I’m Helen the founder of Authors in Oundle, I would like to tell you a little bit about me and why I set up the business.

I have always loved books and enjoy reading whenever I can. I am a literary events organiser with 12 years’ experience of organising successful events. I relish the excitement of finding speakers, setting up, marketing and running events and especially looking after everyone involved, on the day.

It is very important to me that everyone enjoys the experience: the speaker, the publicist/agent, the audience, the volunteers, and the staff at the venue.

My aim is to provide well organised, enjoyable, safe, and memorable events throughout the year.

So, what is my mission in setting up Authors in Oundle:

Firstly, it gives me the opportunity to provide a wide range of authors from different genres, that I know will entice people to explore subjects, cultures, and ideas that they may not be familiar or comfortable with, and enjoy a great time out at a live event.

Secondly, Oundle is a very vibrant and exciting market town, with a long history and a thriving cultural way of life. I want to support this and encourage more people to visit.

I am very excited about this new chapter in Oundle’s cultural journey, and I hope to see you at future events. Please support by following Authors in Oundle on social media and please don’t hesitate to contact me at info@authorsinoundle.co.uk with your comments or suggestions.

You can also sign up on the contact page to receive regular updates and then you can be sure never to miss any of our events.

Thank you so much for your support!
