Martyn Bedford - Writer

I’m pleased to announce the publication of my latest short story in a new anthology of prose fiction and poetry. Portmanteau, released this week by Indigo Dreams Publishing, incudes specially commissioned pieces by staff and students at Leeds Trinity University (where I teach creative writing), and work by regulars at Wordspace, our monthly open-mic event. My contribution, “One Night in Port Manteau”, is a dark and creepy tale set in the red-light district of a seedy harbour town in an unnamed country, where an American tourist hooks up with an unusual pair of sex workers for a night none of them will forget.

Portmanteau is edited by Esther Dreher and Ethan Lowe, two students on the MA in Creative Writing at LTU, and poet and Professor of English, Oz Hardwick. Please click on this link to Amazon if you wish to purchase a copy.
