Susie Troup is the director of the Hexham Book Festival, which is now in its third year. Susie first started a book group in Northumberland in 1996 and it was from there that the idea of a book festival in Hexham took shape: last year the Hexham Book Festival encouraged book groups to start in rural locations and in Hexham Hospital. Susie is very excited to have the opportunity of leading NWN’s new group at Hexham Forum. Watch out for Susie’s new ‘book of the month’ column, which is soon to appear on the Hexham Courant‘s Arts page!

Hi – great to hear about the new Hexham book group. We have a fledgling book group in Bardon Mill (just started this year) and are also trying to get a “virtual” book group going via the website. We thought this would be a good idea for people who can’t make the meetings. It would be great if you joined in online – http://344books.ning.com
