COP26, the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, kicks off in Glasgow on 31st October.

And I’ll be there co-hosting a writing workshop with Oliver Langmead.
What an amazing time Flights of Foundry was! Fun panels with amazing creative minds, and the opportunity to share and discuss with a vibrant community across the world.

Whether you’re into fiction, fantastic academia, or fandom, here’s where you can find me over May and June – and where you can hear me before all that.
