Thanks to everyone who made it to the Scottish Writing Centre last week, where the first ever reading from my novel-in-progress got an amazing response from the crowd! Wish you’d been there? Fear not. Over the next two weekends you catch me reading in-person, plus chatting online with Premee Mohamed and Ren Hutchings! Check out the details below…
The latest installment of the biennial Scottish SF convention, Satellite Six, kicks off a week tomorrow at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Glasgow. And the programme is out now! If you’re joining us over 25th to 27th May, here’s where you can find me.
SATURDAY
8:15pm – Shoreline of Infinity Event Horizon (Siduri)
“Join us for a blast of science fiction songs, stories and poetry featuring Ken MacLeod, Painted Ocean – and other exciting names to be revealed. Your host – the effervescent Andrew J. Wilson.”
While the full line-up has yet to be announced, I’ve got the go-ahead to reveal I’ll be joining Andrew J. Wilson and more for a special edition of the Edinburgh-based SF night.
SUNDAY
11:00am – Superhero writers (Siduri)
Paul McAuley (GoH), Ruth EJ Booth, Neil Williamson (M), Christopher Nuttall, Dave Weaver, Cat Hellisen
“The double-life of sci-fi scribes with everyday jobs. Writers at different stages in their careers discuss how to balance writing and making ends meet.”
If you’ve ever wondered how to squeeze in writing alongside an academic career (I know I do), pop along to hear a group of writers from different walks of life chat about how to squeeze in a writing career alongside everyday life.
Outside of this, come say hi if you see me in the bar. Hope to see you there!
