Authors Auction Character Naming Rights for Torture Survivors Charity

Renowned authors Zadie Smith, Margaret Atwood, and Ian McEwan are participating in a unique charity auction to benefit Freedom from Torture. The event, part of the organization's 10th-anniversary literary festival, offers bidders the chance to name characters in the authors' upcoming novels. This initiative aims to raise crucial funds for survivors of torture.

The literary festival, scheduled for November 11th at the London Library, will also feature poetry competitions and live readings, bringing together prominent writers and individuals who have experienced torture. The auction of character naming rights is a significant draw, providing a creative and engaging way for the public to contribute to a vital cause.
