Here are a couple of videos – from headliner Jennifer A McGowan, reading Lot’s Wife Considers Reincarnation at our International Women’s Day event at Lewisham Library,
and Joy Howard reading Melangell and the Hare at the joint launch for Foraging and With Paper for Feet at Keats House
Joy can’t make it on Wednesday so her poems will be read by either our resident actor Annalie Wilson or Arachne editor Cherry Potts.
Join us at The Brockley Deli 14a Brockley Cross SE4 1BE at 7pm on Wednesday 15th March, for these and more somewhat surprising retellings of old stories.
Readings galore coming up.
Friday in Oxford: With Paper for Feet author Jennifer A McGowan is at Albion Beatnik 7.30pm and
Saturday at North Kensington Library 108 Ladbroke Grove
North Kensington, London W11 1PZ at 2pm reading from the collection of myth based poems.
Here’s a sample from the launch: Something About Love
Well, we try not to anyway, what’s a storm when you have books to launch? Our audience was a little diminished for the launch of Foraging and With Paper for Feet, announced by a flurry of text and emails saying that various modes of transport were curtailed, delayed or unavailable.
We had a good time nonetheless. Here’s a couple of videos from the launch at The Nightingale Room at Keats House Library.
Joy Howard reading A Perfect Hexagon from Foraging
and Jennifer A McGowan reading Icarus from With Paper for Feet

Tour posters for With Paper for Feet and Happy Ending NOT Guaranteed
Just got to get them out to the venues and other willing post-uppers now.
(both cover designs by Kevin Threlfall btw)
A rather lovely way to celebrate Human Rights Day, back in December, reading stories inspired by Magna Carta at North Kensington Library. Stories from Cassandra Passarelli, Carolyn Eden, Jim Cogan and Cherry Potts, poems from Jeremy Dixon
You can catch us again, with our final Liberty Tales jaunt, at Greenstead Library, Colchester CO4 3QE next Wednesday, 25th January 6pm, with stories from Carolyn Eden, David Guy, Helen Morris, Sarah Evans, and poems from Jeremy Dixon, some of which will be read by Carrie Cohen and Cliff Chapman
We are back at North Kensington Library with Shortest Day, Longest Night on Saturday 4th February at 2pm, with Poems from Bob Beagrie, Lisa Kelly, and A J Akoto; and Stories from Katy Darby, Liam Hogan and Pauline Walker.
Pippa Gladhill and David Mathews, who were both published in our first Solstice Shorts book: Sixteen Stories about Time, and have once again coincided by being published in Shortest Day, Longest Night, have taken a copy of the book on a pre-publication tour round Bath where they both live – we will be joining them on 10th January for a reading at St James Wine Vaults. (this link isn’t working at the moment but it is the right one, so I’ve left it)
I don’t think they knew each other before being published by us!
Perhaps other authors would like to follow suit and introduce the book to their town, and vice versa!
