So: thank you to everyone who came to get books signed at Thought Bubble in Leeds, which put a pleasant debt in Travelling Man's stock if nothing else. Other results of my visit there: Quest to meet Kate Beaton: failed! By the time my signing spot had ended she was on a panel, and some time later there […]
So, as mentioned, I will be at Thought Bubble at Leeds, and will be on the Travelling Man stand happy to sign books, some of which will also be there in a buyable condition. Thought Bubble is taking place mostly over the weekend of 17–18 November at the New Dock Casino in Leeds, opposite the Royal Armouries […]
I think I've been a little overconned this year. I count six events, and judging by how spaced I felt on the Friday of Fantasycon that might have been too many. However, once I recovered my equilibrium, it was a good weekend, full of catching up with other writers. Friday, of course, was also the mass signing, and I'd mentioned […]
Just separating out the Fantasycon rigmarole into its own post: OK, professional hat on first: expanded Fantasycon schedule now reads: Friday 8pm — Mass author signing. Please come along to this. Last time I swear there were more authors than readers. Stephen Hunt and I sat there like lemons. Saturday 29th 10–11am — Too Much Reality panel. 10am is […]
It looks as though I shall be in London on Friday 10th in order to complete in the Olympic book signing repechages (1). I will fill this post out with details as it's not clear whether or not I'll be doing a live signing on the day — if so it will be at the Waterstones around Trafalgar […]
Firstly, Edge Lit was a great weekend, and particularly thanks to my full house of workshop-goers (workshoppers? workshoplifters?) and the people who came to hear me and MD Lachlan read. All credit to Alex Davis and his team for organizing the event. Secondly, however, it's New Contract Time! Specifically, and thanks to the tireless efforts of my […]
…went very well. Elbow room only, a good chance to meet authors and/or catch up with acquaintances. The new "Hauntings" anthology from Newcon seemed to do very well, and there was a sort of feeding-frenzy mass signing by the authors. Presses represented were Myrmidon, Snowbooks and Jurassic as well as Newcon. At the same time, in a nearby […]
This is something of a cautionary tale about agreeing to do things and then forgetting that you did. The Edge Lit (Derby Quad, 14th July) schedule has come together, and I'm pleased to announce that I will be: 10am Digital Workshop — running a workshop about world-building 2pm Meeting room — joint reading slot with MD Lachlan — […]
The schedule for Nerdeast on 9th June in Durham is set — I will be giving some sort of talk, hopefully assisted by fellow author Russell Smith, from around 3pm. We'll be the last people on, so if anyone fancies grabbing a drink (1) afterwards that's probably a good time — also for getting stuff signed or similar. The […]
Over the last few months Zach Jernigan has been conducting a long-distance interview on the subject of race in fantasy writing. His interviewees are David Anthony Durham, Aliette de Bodard, Ken Liu and myself, and it's been a privilege to be amongst that company and get to talk around that subject. Zach put a huge amount of work […]
