New Writing Dundee

New Writing Dundee is here. This is an anthology of  original writing by amitures and pros which is organised by my friend Rachel. and published in association with Literary Dundee. I've been buying NWD since its very first publication and this one is its biggest and best to date. I'll be reading and reviewing individual peices from it on the blog in the near future, but for now it has its big launch tonight. Professor of literature and creative writing at the University of St Andrews, Robert Crawford will be there to launch this year's volume at the DCA, 152 Netergate, Dundee so if you're in the area come check it out.

(Details below.)

If you'd like you can get a copy from here.

The book will be launched at the DCA on the 22nd of April at 5pm, with a reading by Robert Crawford, and can be purchased from then for £5 from the University's Online store, Amazon.co.uk, Waterstone’s, John Smiths and various local booksellers.
