Find out more about Don’t Shut Up – a new virtual book theatre launched by Jacana Media
Jacana Media is offering a virtual book theatre on its new platform Don’t Shut Up!
Don’t Shut Up will be bringing Jacana Media authors to you in the comfort of your own home.
The platform will feature Jacana Conversations, Jacana Masterclass and Jacana Broadsides.
For the Conversations and Masterclass events, Jacana will be working with Crowdcast, who broadcast the Hay-on-Wye Literary Festival.
From Jacana:
Our authors are independent thinkers, who look for the unusual, the unsaid. Our list includes judges and the jailed, those who investigate, poets, chefs, warriors, lovers and the queer. Some shout, some whisper, but always they have something vital to say.
We hope that the careful blending of authors, specialists, inquisitors and commentators in live conversation, illustrating skills and through the art of pamphleteering, will have you questioning both the state and the status quo.
We are excited to give our authors a platform, and you a front-row seat to Don’t Shut Up.
Subscribe to our mailing list here to stay updated on all the book launches, masterclasses, discussions and opinion pieces from our authors.
