The Write Fantastic Oxford One-Day Event
| I’m really looking forward to taking part in The Write Fantastic one-day event in Oxford on May 8th: exciting panels with fantasy and science fiction writers and editors, the launch of the anthology – and, of course, the opportunity to chat in the bar!So why not come along and meet me and the other writers and enjoy a stimulating day of discussion on speculative fiction?
(From the website) Since our launch in May 2005, The Write Fantastic’s diary has seen over 60 engagements, ranging from library and bookshop events, talks to local writers’ groups and contributions to literary festivals to teaching creative writing. We’ve found readers’ appetite and enthusiasm for fantasy fiction is boundless, from epic tales of sword and sorcery to gritty urban myth. It’s been our pleasure to help make sure that no one is missing out on all the wonderful reading currently on offer. To celebrate TWF’s fifth year, we’re welcoming Kari Sperring, Ian Whates, Freda Warrington and Liz Williams to the team and holding our first day event, at the Jacqueline Du Pré Building, St Hilda’s College, Oxford on May 8th 2010. We’re inviting friends and colleagues to share their insights and recommendations in a wide-ranging programme. Our author guests are Stephen Deas, Ben Jeapes, Geoff Ryman, Mike Shevdon and Ian Watson. We’ll also be joined by David Moore and Jenni Hill of Solaris Books, Oxford’s very own SF&F publisher, to offer their editorial perspectives. The day will also see the launch of TWF’s anniversary anthology of original stories. |
