Join Alice Oseman, the creator of global smash-hit coming-of-age romance Heartstopper, for a very special in conversation event with Lauren James.
Heartstopper follows Nick and Charlie, two teenage boys who meet at grammar school, quickly become friends and fall in love. The story navigates the ups and downs of first loves, friendships, coming out and mental health, beautifully framed by a warm cast of supporting characters. Heartstopper started life as a webcomic, quickly becoming an online sensation with over 100 million views. The #1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling graphic novels that followed brought this charming love story to even more readers – with Heartstopper Volume 5 instantly becoming the UK’s fastest selling graphic novel ever. Now a critically acclaimed major Netflix series written by Alice Oseman, Heartstopper is a truly global phenomenon.
Pre-signed copies of Alice Oseman’s special hardback edition of Heartstopper Volume 1 are available to purchase with your ticket (£16.99 RRP - £13.50 when purchased with a ticket). Pre-purchased books can be picked up at the time of the event. There will be no signing after this event, but books purchased with a ticket will be pre-signed. Unfortunately, dedications will not be possible.
This event will not be livestreamed.
BSL interpretation is available on request.
Please note this event takes place at McEwan Hall, Teviot Pl, Edinburgh EH8 9AG. The Front List is presented in partnership with Underbelly.
