A party to spread the word about the Unbound Books #womeninprint campaign. Music, laughter, cocktails and readings from some of The Book Club Boutique's favourite female author and poets.

Hosted by Salena Godden and co-host extraordinarie Michelle Madsen at the beautiful Vout-O-Reenee's see you all there!

From Unbound:

"In the last few months we've published some brilliant books, including Katy Brand's first novel 'Brenda Monk is Funny', Julie Burchill's 'Unchosen' and Salena Godden's memoir 'Springfield Road'. But of all the books we've published to date, just one third come from female authors. We know we're not alone in this and research has shown this gender imbalance is widespread across the publishing industry. Women are over 50 per cent less likely to submit their work for publication than men, according to a survey by Mslexia. The Guardian reports fewer female authors reviewed in Britain's major books sections. That's why we've launched Women in Print - to publish interesting, challenging female authors in larger numbers than before." Read more here.
