Book Slam
Biography
Running for almost a decade, Book Slam remains London's best literary event and something of a cultural institution. Over the years, most of the UK's finest writers have graced the Book Slam stage (Nick Hornby, Howard Jacobson, Zadie Smith ...) and it's a great place to spot up and coming musical talent (Plan B, Kate Nash, Jamie Woon and Adele all played early gigs there).
Now the Book Slam team have thrown their considerable muscle into publishing with the release of 'One For The Trouble', which is their first annual and a glittering collection of musically-themed prose and poetry from the likes of Irvine Welsh, Jon McGregor, Hari Kunzru and William Boyd.
'One For The Trouble' is available as a limited edition, signed (by all the authors) hardback from the Book Slam website; an ebook and a audiobook.

One For The Trouble – Book Slam Volume One is the first publication from the UK’s premier literary event. Eighteen Book Slam alumni were approached to take a song title for inspiration for a new short story or poem. The resulting collection is unique, diverse and thoroughly entertaining. One For The Trouble provides a perfect snapshot of the very best contemporary British writing.
