We will be supplying books at this event at The Red Cow tomorrow afternoon! Words about Words is a chance to hear two prize winning authors talk about their books. We will have copies of both Rebecca Taylor McKay & Emma Lowther's books & there will be a chance to get them signed 📚 🤩

Join us at a Words and Music Festival first, a panel session focused on the power of words and the emotions they can create. Words About Words, is an chance to hear two prize winning authors talk about their books and give us a glimpse of what it took to go from blank page to world stage.

2026 debut authors Rebecca Taylor McKay and Emma Lowther share their stories as writers, and their journey through to publication.

Both books are available now at the Nantwich Bookshop and Coffee Lounge - so this is a great chance to read them before the event, and then come along on the day to ask questions and chat to the authors and get your copy signed!

The authors will each read the first chapter from their debut books, followed by a panel discussion where we will learn about the ideas driving their work as they take us through the early stages of their research, how they came up with their plot points and hooks to draw you in, the ones that compel you to keep reading to the last page.

There will be a chance to buy signed copies of the respective author’s books at the event. “The Honeymoon Suite” by Rebecca Taylor McKay and “Fellow Creatures” by Emma Lowther are debut 2026 Psychological Thrillers gripping readers in the UK and beyond.

This is your opportunity to get inside the minds of these two talented writers.
