'An Evening with Mike Gayle'

Mike Gayle has worked as a journalist, “agony uncle” for teen magazine Bliss, and for the last 25 years as a novelist. His first novel, My Legendary Girlfriend, published in 1998, was described as “full of belly laughs and painfully acute observations”. His earlier books roughly corresponded to challenges facing his peer group – post university, first job; relationship issues (Mr Commitment); moving back in with parents after failed relationship (Turning Thirty). His more recent work is broader, tackling topics such as adoption.

Now with 18 novels to his name and, unusually, all with the same publisher (Hodder) he finds his original loyal readers are introducing their children to his books. Mike’s books have been translated into over 30 languages. After stints in Manchester and London, Mike now lives in Birmingham with his wife, kids, two sheds and a rabbit! Mike was last with us in 2019. We look forward to welcoming him back to Evesham.
