Leeds Lit Fest: indie publishing and city-based discovery

Approach Leeds Lit Fest-adjacent coverage with a regional, commercial-fiction angle: indie publishing, bookshop culture, and accessible women’s fiction. Best used as a media tie-in or if any podcast, blogger, or bookseller is already attending.

The festival runs 6–14 June 2026 and includes the Northern Fiction Alliance Book Fair, Bookshop Crawl UK, and other indie-friendly programming. More of a pitch-support opportunity than a primary event target.
