The Novel Game

Avonside Studiowww.avonside.studio
Three funny people write the first line of a book, film poster or advert and pit this against the work of the real author. Will they write something more appealing than the writer and fool their fellows? Will they fall flat on their face? Will you guess who's fooling who? With Robin Ince, Fenella Fudge, Marian Pashley, Stuart Flynn & Bruce Guthrie.
