Indie night

I’m looking forward to a trip to Manchester this week for a celebration of independent publishing in the north of England. I’ll be one of eight writers sharing a stage at the first Northern Fiction Alliance roadshow, to mark the formation of a new collective of indie presses.

The event, from 6-8pm on Tuesday 26th September, at Waterstones, Deansgate, will showcase a variety of NFA presses and books, with talks and readings from editors and authors. I’ll be reading an extract from “Withen”, my story about the battle of Orgreave, which is published in Protest, the latest anthology from Manchester-based Comma Press.

Here’s the full line-up of writers:

Martyn Bedford (Comma Press)
Heidi James (Bluemoose Books)
Joanna Walsh (And Other Stories)
Paul Hanley (Route)
Jacob Ross (Peepal Tree Press)
Naomi Booth (Dead Ink Books)
Benjamin Myers (Mayfly)
Graeme Macrae Burnet (Saraband)

Tickets cost £3 and include a glass of wine or soft drink on arrival. There will also be a 10% discount on any books purchased on the night published by any of the presses in attendance. For more information, email commapublications@yahoo.co.uk, events.manchester@waterstones.com or tweet us @waterstonesmcr.
