This evening I’ll be reading selected poems or possibly a short story, if only I could decide, damn this indecision!

Anyway, whatever it is it’ll be fun -blush- not because me but because of the other wonderfully talented people that’ll be there and because it’s hosted in the rather wonderful Cherry Reds on John Bright Street, Birmingham.

Hmm, looks good.

An event you may be interested in…

2013 Short Story Showcase

Building on the success of their 2012 project Seven Minute Stories, The West Midlands Readers’ Network is once again commissioning regional writers to create short stories in collaboration with readers’ groups. In 2013, six writers will work with groups in locations around the West Midlands. The writers are: Gaynor Arnold, Garrie Fletcher, Ian MacLeod, AL Pietroni, Rochi Rampal and Amanda Smyth. Each writer has been given a few key narrative ingredients by their group and been asked to throw in some magic of their own in order to conjure up a memorable new story. Join us as these stories and their writers come together in a special anthology and showcase event.

Attendees will be able to pick up a free anthology.

The event will take place at 7pm on Monday 2 December 2013, at the Library of Birmingham.

This event is free to attend but booking is essential. To book please call 0121 245 4455 or click here.

Oo, look, I’m in this:

Building on the success of their 2012 project Seven Minute Stories, The West Midlands Readers’ Network is once again commissioning regional writers to create short stories in collaboration with readers’ groups. In 2013, six writers will work with groups in locations around the West Midlands.

Join us as these stories and their writers come together in a special anthology and showcase event.

All guests will receive a free limited edition copy of the anthology at the event.

Presented in partnership with the West Midlands Readers’ Network. Chaired by Roz Goddard, Co-ordinator of West Midlands Readers’ Network.

It’d be great to see you there, tickets are free and you could combine it with some Christmas shopping at the German Market in the city. Also, for those of you in fear of dehydration there is a bar!

You can book tickets here.
