I'm participating in a panel discussion on the theme of  'Creative Writing and English Literature: The State of the Disciplines' with the novelist Stephen May and Dr Angelica Michelis of Manchester Metropolitan University as part of the Strange Bedfellows series at York University.  The event begins at 4pm in the Bowland Auditorium, Berrick Saul Building.

I’ll be deciding the winner of the Essex Book Festival ‘Get It Writ’ short story competition.  The announcement will be made by Andrew Burton at the Less is More event at Witham Library on 20th March.

I’m reading from Worthless Men at Burnham Library in Burnham On Crouch at 8pm as part of the Essex Book Festival. 

The launch of my new novel Worthless Men will be held at the UEA Drama Studio at 7pm.  I’ll also be introducing readings by UEA alumni Chelsey Flood, who is launching her debut novel Infinite Sky, and Tom Benn, who has just published his second novel Chamber Music.
