As part of the Literary Salon series, The Cultural Institute and  Honno Welsh Women’s Press invites you to an insightful conversation  between new author Kathy Biggs and Dr Gemma June Howell.

Prepare to be immersed in a world of larger-than-life  characters, heartfelt emotions and personal growth that transcends the  ordinary. Chaired by Dr Elaine Canning, together they will explore the  intricate themes, characters, and inspirations that brought Scrap to  life. Gain unique insights into Biggs' creative process, the challenges  she encountered, and the literary influences that have shaped her  remarkable work.

Kathy Biggs is originally from Yorkshire. She took a summer job in  Mid Wales in 1985 – and never left. She has two grown children and lives  with her husband. After studying a number of Creative Writing courses  linked to Aberystwyth University, she discovered a talent for writing.  In October 2022 she published her first novel The Luck.
