Manchester University Press (MUP) are delighted to announce their new collaboration with independent news outlet The Mill, to launch a new event series available exclusively to subscribers of The Mill.
The first three events in the series will take place in early 2023 at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation in Manchester city centre. This first event (March) will see author of Manchester unspun, Manchester-based journalist and author Andy Spinoza, in conversation with The Mill’s Editor Joshi Herrmann. Their conversation will be followed by informal networking and a book signing.
Future events will include Tom Haines-Doran, author of Derailed: How to fix Britain’s broken railways, and poet and broadcaster David Scott, author of Mancunians: where do I start, where do we begin?
MUP’s Sales and Marketing Director Chris Hart commented: “We’re delighted to be working with The Mill – a local publication with a growing readership thanks to its original and thought-provoking journalism around issues at the heart of life in Greater Manchester, as well as a belief in sharing fact-driven and well-researched content. We are also both mission-orientated organisations with a sense of purpose which we hope comes across to readers of both MUP books and The Mill.”
Editor of The Mill Joshi Herrmann: “We’re really excited to be putting on this events series with the brilliant Manchester University Press. The events will give our members a chance to hear from some of the city’s most interesting writers on stage and also hear from The Mill’s team about big stories we have worked on recently. Ever since we started, our members have been asking us to organise more in-person meetups so that they can meet each other and have more contact with our team, and we’re grateful to MUP for giving us a chance to do that.”
