Robot Invasion!

Saturday 17th November 2012 is a date to mark into your diaries, folks, as Sheffield Libraries have picked that for their first ever SF & F Readers' Day. In a sort of extended "Meet the Author"-stylee affair, Adam Christopher, David Tallerman, and Gav Thorpe will all (subject to the usual caveats) be present - as will their publisher, Nottingham's very own Angry Robot Books, for a "Breaking into the industry" workshop.

The event runs from 1pm to 4pm at Sheffield Central Library; tickets can be obtained free in advance at the library itself. Beware, however, demand for this event is likely to be high, so you'll have to get in early.

Sheffield SFF Writers will, of course, be representin'. We'll see you there...

Hey nice one Steve, blog going again!

Here's some sensible tips on writing: http://litreactor.com/columns/some-practical-writing-advice-from-douglas-coupland

I especially like:
'Don’t write for magazines you don’t actually read. People can tell you’re not 100 percent into it.'

See you in 2 weeks
