Book Festival – Short Story Masterclass with Naomi Booth

Naomi Booth’s first work of fiction, The Lost Art of Sinking, was set in Todmorden; it was selected for New Writing North’s Read Regional campaign and won the Saboteur Award for Best Novella. Her later novels, Sealed and Exit Management, were listed as books of the year in the White Review and the Guardian. Naomi’s first collection of short stories, Animals at Night (2022) has recently been longlisted for the Edge Hill Short Story Prize and the Sunday Times EFG Short Story Award. The collection includes ‘Sour Hall’, a story set on dairy farm in the Calder Valley, which has been adapted into an audio drama for Audible. Naomi grew up in West Yorkshire and now lives in York. She lectures in Creative Writing and Literature at Durham University.
