Liars’ League is a very wonderful collection of people in London (and now Leeds, Leicester, New York and Hong Kong) who organise monthly readings by actors of new fiction. They have a new theme each month. The opportunity to listen to your own work read by someone who can really put it across is thrilling. Listening to Susan Moisan reading Leaving I discovered jokes I didn’t know I’d written! I’m not sure what the etiquette is for laughing out loud at your own work, but… she did it so well. You can listen to recordings of the readings or watch videos, and read the stories at the Liars’ websites (links below.)
