Blind Date with a Book
Wednesday 4th February
16:30-18:30
Teviot Balcony Room
As we are getting into the Valentine's mood, we invite you to join us on a blind date with a difference...
Come along to Teviot Balcony Room on Wednesday 4th February from 4.30pm until 6.30pm to choose your perfect literary match from our excellent selection of books. All of the books we have to give away will be wrapped up with a 3 word description written on top so you have to select one based on this very limited profile.
Come and find out what you actually look for in a book. And if the one you choose isn't quite right, swap with one of the other members on the night - never before has dating been so simple!

It has finally arrived ... PublishED have been working hard over the past few months in order to put together the tenth issue of the Inkwell, featuring short stories, poetry, art and overall greatness. Now the issue is ready to release and that means it needs a proper launch party! We sincerely hope you will come join us.Take a break from revision and come down to The Forest cafe, where we will provide (free!) wine of different kind and nibbles. There will also be different readings happening, maybe even from the latest issue, as well as an art exhibition compiled in collaboration with The International Union of Mail Artists. It promises to be a great event and we look forward to seeing all of you there!
---
We would like to thank Forest cafe for providing the venue. Also, thanks must go out to the University of Edinburgh's English Literature Department, which have contributed to funding not only the magazine itself, but also this event.
Oh and did we mention there's free wine...? Yes!

PublishED wants to invite you to take off that dusty cloak of academic writing for a night. Release those clammy hands, frantically clawing at the laptop to reach the word count and let them freely scrawl on the page...come to PublishED’s first Drunk Writing Workshop of the year!
Join us this Monday 3 November at 19:30 in Teviot Underground for a range of exercises, including a Mad Libs game using an extract from 50 Shades of Grey (at least you can blame the liquor for all the blushing).
Those who don’t fancy drinking are very welcome too.
It’ll be free for members (wahoo!) and £2 for non-members.
Check out the event on Facebook for more info and see you there!
