Stage Whispers

Meet Lesley Finlay, the editor of Ink Pellet. She is a bit of a traditionalist (Jane Austen, the Brontes, Shakespeare, Dickens…) who is developing a love of modern teen fiction. Michele Williams is keeper of the adverts and is rekindling her all-round love of the arts. Do get in touch with her about advertising – you know it’s worth it.
