Co-founder and co-organizer (with Bill Swainson) of Litfest International Fiction Book Club (founded March 2020): the Litfest International Fiction Book Club meets once a month to discuss works of contemporary fiction in translation. In each meeting, we host virtual visits by key figures in the publication of works under discussion (authors, translators, commissioning editors). The International Fiction Book Club serves as point of encounter between the world of literary publishing, the academic community, and book club members in the Lancaster area and beyond.
