I have a story, Flux, in Dark Mountain 18, Fabula. A collection of fictions about the near future. Honored to be included alongside writers like Paul Kingsnorth and Kirsty Logan.
You can listen to an audio version of the story here for free.
The story is about mutuant organic delivery drones, and is set in a besiged pub in Northumberland.
Our streets need magic. They need alternatives to consumerism, distraction and isolation. The Story Wagon will provide writing space, reading activities and storytelling to the public for free in the outdoors.
It’s a pop-up writing den that can set up outside shops or community centres. It’ll provide desk space, cups of tea, typewriters and books. It will host a programme of writing, reading-out-loud and and storytelling activities. Its large veranda can be unfurled to provide sheltered outdoor arts activities, in line with social-distancing.
This wee wagon is my next big project, it brings together all I’ve learnt from busking, travelling, and facilitating creative writing. It will offer space, it will offer sanctuary.
*edit! thanks to kindness of 210 people we crowdfunded £11k to get the Wagon started!
