CoPP | PPLS | TALKING | with Three Women Writers on Crafting Strong Protagonists | Saturday 22 November 2025 | 2-3pm

[Edited extract from public address]

Female readers dominate the book-buying market. In 2025, what do they want to see reflected back at them when it comes to fictional female characters?  

Authors Anne Freeman, Casey Nott & Holly Cardamone have crafted 3 very different female leads for their debut novels…but they have one trait in common – strength.  

In this vibrant panel session, Anne, Casey & Holly explore why they wanted their characters to ‘live’ feminism & how they brought this to life on the page.
