Mark Richards, Devon Glover and Zohra Nabi Sensitivity and Writing: where do we draw the line?

Authenticity and cultural sensitivity in publishing have been the subject of fierce debate in recent years. Do writers write differently now, or has what publishers are willing to print shifted? How do we view books written in the past, and could and should we rework novels and plays from the past or accept them for what they are and 'of their time'? Join Mark Richards, co-founder and publisher of Swift Press, Devon Glover (The Sonnet Man), writer and hip hop artist who reworks Shakespeare's sonnets into modern language, and children's author Zohra Nabi for a nuanced discussion of publishing today, the role of sensitivity readers, and what writers can address going forwards. Talking to broadcaster and BBC Front Row presenter Samira Ahmed.

N.B. Devon Glover is replacing Alex Preston at this event.
