Writers’ Bloc Awayday (Almost)
Posted in Ken MacLeod, Michael Cobley, Richard Morgan, Writers' Bloc events at 19:21 on 26 February 2010
I reproduce below the latest information from my spoken word performance group, Writers’ Bloc.
You’ll see the theme of this event chimes with a couple of the posts I have made recently.
…………………………
You may be wondering what has happened to Writers’ Bloc. Well, preparation is in progress for some exciting new shows, but in the interim, some of us will be gathering with some well-known associates for a major event at Glasgow’s Aye Write! book festival next month:

Leading SF and fantasy novelists Richard Morgan, Ken MacLeod, Hal Duncan, Deborah J. Miller and Mike Cobley discuss the shape of things to come with editor, critic and general ne’er-do-well Andrew J. Wilson at “The Early Days of a Better Future?”.
Can things only get better or do we have to look over a mountain of rubble to see beyond the next fifty years? Scottish writers are leading a renaissance in British speculative fiction, but does our national identity have any future at all? Are rhetorical questions all we’ve got to offer?
Join the panel for a lively debate punctuated with short, sharp and shocking stories — and some very special surprise guests.
THE EARLY DAYS OF A BETTER FUTURE?
Sunday 7 March, 20:00-21:30 at the Mitchell Library, Glasgow G3 7DN.
Tickets: 7.00 (6.00 concessions).
Book early to avoid disappointment and ensure that it’s not just
Glaswegians who get to have their say.
We hope to see you there!
Writers’ Bloc.
