Rochdale Literature and Ideas Festival: Louis Brierley

Young author Louis Brierley took to the main stage in Number One Riverside today (Sunday 26 October) as part of the Rochdale Literature and Ideas Festival.

Louis, who has just completed his first novel, took to the stage with festival compère and literary agent Norman Warwick to discuss his work.

Speaking about his novel 'Flames of Peace', Louis said: “It is a brilliant way of looking at modern day through a mirror. It is a dystopian future trying to analyse a dystopian future.”

Louis, 18, is currently at university studying for a joint honours degree in English Literature with Creative Writing as well as trying to get his book published.

Norman Warwick said: “We have sat down with interested parties to talk about the right way to go. We are now in the process of sitting down and contacting publishers so we can send them the work for them to look at.”

Despite the first book not yet being published, Louis has already started writing the sequel.
