N2 - During the pandemic, literary events have migrated online. Over the past year, whether you were based in the centre or the periphery, in London, Liverpool or Luana, you were afforded easy access to the most successful and acclaimed anglophone novelists of our time, among them Hilary Mantel, Margaret Atwood and Maggie O’Farrell. Considering that artists learn most effectively from other artists, it is important to continue these online events, ideally in hybrid form, to ensure equal opportunities for writers from diverse regional and social backgrounds, especially for those who find themselves at a disadvantage in the contemporary publishing landscape.
