'(R)evolution' is finally here! Join PublishED for the launch of our Winter 2017 Inkwell publication, with the theme '(R)evolution'.

The event will be January 28th from 7- 9 PM at The Cuckoo's Nest in Edinburgh. You'll also be able to hear all about our upcoming issue 'Akrasia', for which submissions are now open! Naturally, you will be able to pick up a copy.
