1) WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO
Clovenhoof 2
The second Clovenhoof novel is around two-thirds done now. We had a research trip to Wales in April which has helped to inspire the remaining chapters.
Ten To One
We are very close to selecting the final ten writers for this exciting collaborative novel project. You can keep up to date, read the chapters before anyone else and vote, Big Brother style, on which characters and writers should stay in the novel. Go to www.pigeonparkpress.com
to sign up for our newsletter and pledge your support.
Saints, Sinners and Fools.
The third of our Spoken Word events was hosted at the 6/8 Kafe on Wednesday 24th April.
A superb evening with a fun mix of poetry prose and song. Paul McHale recorded the evening for a podcast. You can find a preview
here, which features Iain reading our latest collaborative short story, written while we were on the road to Wales!
The full podcast is here
Sitcom Writing Workshop
Keith Lindsay's workshop on 6th April went down a storm. A lovely group of people attended, making it an interactive and valuable session all round.
