On Tuesday, at the London office of Constable and Robinson, I was invited on behalf of Novelicious to attend a Secret Supper Club to celebrate their new imprint, Canvas.
Over tasty canapés, a mouth-watering three course menu and a glass of wine, this exciting new venture was discussed. The Canvas line focuses on fresh commercial fiction by both debut and established authors, covering a variety of genres, including historical, erotic and romantic fiction.
The evening tied in with the publication of one of the books on Canvas’ list, The Secret Supper Club by Dana Bate, which is out now. The Secret Supper Club follows Hannah Sugarman, whose dream of being a culinary genius is on the backburner while she writes about the financial crisis. But when her relationship
crashes, Hannah is spurred on to act by creating a pop up restaurant, the secret supper club, and welcoming all manner of guests and secrets through her door.
As would be expected in a room full of book lovers, the conversation continued all night and it was lovely to meet fellow bloggers and the team behind Canvas. I left feeling slightly larger, but very happy, with a Canvas goody bag full of Constable and Robinson books.
Thank you to the team for providing such a great evening of wonderful food and company, and I wish you the best of luck with Canvas.
