If there’s one thing we know for sure: writers and readers love gossip. While we can’t condone the sharing of real literary gossip, or even blind items, join some of EWF’s favourite writers as they share the most scandalous gossip they could imagine – emphasis on imagine. Come along to hear the juiciest made-up stories of silly scandals and fake feuds.
