Hello folks,
I'm arranging these events in local bookshops across Tyneside 🎉🎉 an book launch and eco-writing workshop with author Sarah Royston. I'm also moving house and dealing with CFS/ME - any help on getting the word out would be much appreciated. This is a fantastic book and another feather in The Braag's already ornithological hat. FERNSEED is a q***r ecological collection of speculative short fiction, it is gorgeous, lyric and strange.

SATURAY 19th October 11:00AM - 1:00PM - Eco-Writing Workshop
