Members of the Society of Authors (SoA) have overwhelmingly voted to keep Joanne Harris as chair of the management committee.
A group of 10 authors from the 12,000-member organisation, including Julie Bindel and Amanda Craig, proposed a resolution for the society's annual general meeting (a.g.m.) yesterday evening (Thursday 17th November) calling on Harris to leave her post, claiming her comments and behaviour are "not compatible with the society's goals of protecting free expression and their policy of dignity and respect".
