The
London Post lists some of the activities at Canary Wharf next month:
Friday 4th March – Friday 11th March: International Women’s Day on Short Story Stations
In Celebration of IWD this March (8th), Canary Wharf’s popular short story stations will be printing stories from an all-female line up. The popular ‘literature vending machines’ will be packed with hundreds of stories and poems featuring iconic authors such as Virginia Woolf and Emily Brontë, as well as new literature from up-and-coming contemporary female authors.
All stories are free to print on eco-friendly paper. All you need to do is select your reading length and the machine will print your story or poem at random.

I felt utterly terrified. You have to have a tough outer shell to keep going. (Megan Agnew)

The short chapters really do keep you on the edge of your seat, and Korede’s impassive narrative voice inspired by “Wuthering Heights” is quite eerie. However, Braithwaite said she had no genre in mind when she started her book. (Leyla Yilmaz)
