Central Library is hosting some brand-new ‘in conversation’ events – under the umbrella Library Lounge – to help raise funds for the charitable trust which supports its work, and first off they are welcoming BAFTA-winning screenwriter Danny Brocklehurst for an evening of conversation and questions.

From Clocking Off to ShamelessDanny’s TV credits also include In The Dark, Ordinary Lies, The Accused, Exile, Talk To Me and The Driver. He also co-wrote the recent SKY One international hit show The Five – based on the work of best-selling American crime writer Harlan Coben.

Prior to becoming a professional screenwriter, Danny, who is also an International Emmy winner, worked as a freelance journalist for a range of regional and national publications including The Guardian, The Big Issue, Manchester Evening News and City Life.

So whether it’s scoop-finding, crime writing or working with Michelle Peake, there’s bound to be at least one burning question you can bring along.
