By Chiara Hampton Walking into the world of a novel blind has a quality of excitement. You’ve not yet been influenced by reviews, academic contexts, the particularities of the author’s biography. Perhaps it was the cover that drew you in or the recommendation of a friend. In any case, nothing exists in your mind but the text itself. You note the writing style before beginning to untangle the first threads of an unfamiliar story. By the time that story concludes, you’ve created an impression both personal and isolated.
On Tuesday 23rd of January PublishED will be hosting our collaboration with The Society of Authors . We have decided to kick off the year with a presentation on the work of the SoA given by its chief executive Nicola Solomon , and Linda Strachan , acclaimed children's author and chair of the SoA in Scotland. The event will take place from 7.30-9 pm in the 50 George Square, Room G.04. You can find more information about the event the Published Facebook page. There will be an opportunity at the end of the presentation to ask questions. If you're curious about the world of publishing this is a great event to come to!
'(R)evolution' is finally here! Join PublishED for the launch of our Winter 2017 Inkwell publication, with the theme '(R)evolution'.
