Storyteller enthusiasts have gathered in Camden for the first #Merky Books free two-day literature festival, put together by Stormzy.
Taylor-Dior Rumble, whose novel The Situationship was the first romantic comedy to be signed by Merky Books, told the BBC the festival "makes the world of publishing feel a lot more accessible". Speaking about advice for new writers she added: "It's not about standing out. It's about being true to who you are. I put a lot of emphasis on passion and purpose, so if you've got an idea, it's finding an audience for your project.
