Litopia After Dark this week has not one but two very special guests. We welcome back novelist, journalist, actress and broadcaster, Amanda Lees, author of the Kumari Goddess of Gotham teen novels. Also we are delighted to welcome Alan Gibbons, author of numerous award winning children's titles including the Blue Peter Award winning, Shadow of the Minotaur and the Carnegie Shotlisted, The Edge. Alan has launched a campaign against library closures in the UK, recruiting to his cause so far, Philip Pullman, David Almond, Michael Rosen and Beverley Naidoo, among others. We discuss Alan's Campaign for the Book in depth as well as playing Pitch the Nasty Agent and advising our listener, S.P. what she should do about her shady past.
This weeks panelists joining Amanda and Alan are Donna Ballman and Dave Bartram. And the Ustream chatroom (8pm GMT) was very quiet this week, we were so engrossed with the discussion. Come and join us next week to liven up the chat.
