Celebrated for her spoken-word wizardry, Laura Dockrill will be story-telling and reading from her second book ‘Ugly Shy girl’ that was released in June. A dark tale of a girl who always says and does the wrong thing and dipicts the struggle of growing up in a place where you don't belong, surrounded by people you hate... and delicious revenge. 

Laura was voted one of the Top Ten literary talents of 2008 and has gone on to feature in Vogue, Elle, Time Out and the Independent on Sunday. Laura has appeared on The Verb, Bespoken Word and Radio 1’s Poetry surgery and is scheduled to appear on Women’s Hour later in the year. Quirky, playful and unique, Dockrill’s stream of consciousness is witty, wise and entertaining.buy
