The edited videos of 18 of the 20 author talks in this series have all been uploaded to youtube (YT).

Do take a look! The URLs are below.

Otherwise, please search the “Gillian Barbara Bickley” youtube channel.

You will notice that there is no video for Sessions 1 or 3.

We very much hope there may be other occasions when we may arrange to interview on video
