Sue Reid Sexton to appear at Dundee Womens Festival

Sue Reid Sexton appears at the Dundee Womens Festival on Thursday 15^th March 2018 from 6 – 7pm, in her event: “Writing on the Road: staying happy and creative in a campervan - book event with Sue Reid Sexton – ‘Writing on the Road: Campervan love and the joy of solitude’ ”

Place & booking in: Please contact Central Library, Dundee to book a free space on 01382 431500

Sue Reid Sexton travels solo in a tiny campervan and uses it as a creative space and general escape hatch. For a day or weeks at a time, she disappears up glens and over mountains to write novels. ‘Writing on the Road’ is about these flights, but it’s also a travel journal, a guide to living in the moment, to coping when your marriage unravels and staying creative against all odds, campervan don’ts and dos, and how not to be scared in the dark.

“Sue Reid Sexton speaks with a courage and humour that shine through this inspirational, honest and moving story. “ – The Sunday Post
