How do you choose your next book? A Literary Death Match...

Last night, London's Hospital Club in Covent Garden played host to the Literary Death Match. Four authors fight it out in front of three judges in two rounds and one final to be crowned winner!


Each episode is played out in different places, where four emerging writers have seven minutes to perform and convince the star judges that their book is best. The two finalists then compete in the Literary Death Match finale.

The organisers of the Literacy Death Match, self-named "lit-nerds" aim to bring a new and innovative way of presenting text off of the page. Their ultimate aim is to take Literary Death Matches all over the world. 

If you would like to find out where the Literacy Death Match is going next, or to purchase tickets, you can find all the information on the LDM website.
