Day of appearance – Saturday 31st October
Helen Comerford is a Black mixed-race British debut author and is passionate about Black British and mixed heritage representation. She centres her diverse cast of characters in narratives they have historically been excluded from and celebrates their joys, strengths and everyday teenage experiences. She is fuelled by a love of all things super-powered, feminism, and chocolate raisins. When she’s not writing, you can find Helen hiking around the Welsh countryside with her dog, Cocoa.
Panel Information: Comfort of the cosy fantasy
Sometimes you just want to sit back with a good book and enjoy all that it has to offer. No peril, no death, characters you love, worlds a bit different from your own. The cosy fantasy genre hits the sweet spot, and we have seen a rise in books of this type for 2026 so of course we want to hear all about it from our engaging panel.
Workshop Information: Writing what you know
Find the story waiting in your memories with Helen’s Write What You Know workshop. Participants will discover ways to integrate their knowledge with even the most fantastical plots and take a closer look at how the places that they know and love can help create a rich setting for their stories.
