LOBAL SUPERSTAR CRIME author David Baldacci is having a bit of a moment

His revenue through Nielsen BookScan has grown by a double-digit percentage in each of the past three years for Pan Macmillan and, all told, he has earned £20.9m in print sales for British booksellers. He will be speaking with former BBC radio presenter Mark Lawson about his writing stle: how he shiſts between series and stan- dalone books; the challenges of writing for a younger audience (in his children’s titles); and how he approaches writing for TV. He will also discuss the Wish You Well Foundation, the non- profit literacy organisation he co-founded with his wife.
