University of Glasgow Creative Writing Programme

Special Creative Conversations evening event with novelist & children’s writer Scarlett Thomas – 26 April, 6 -7 PM, Uni Chapel.

Scarlett Thomas has always loved stories, magic and mysterious places. She tried (and failed) to write her first novel when she was six. Since then she has successfully written nine novels including The End of Mr Y, PopCo and The Seed Collectors. Her newest novel and her first novel for Children, Dragon Green published by Cannongate is the first volume in the Worldquake Sequence. She lives near the sea in an old house full of books, and is a professor in the English department of the University of Kent. Find more information about her on her website: http://worldquake.co.uk/. Follow her on Twitter .

Thank you to everyone who's come along to the Creative Conversations this term! We ended with a bang - Ian Rankin in conversation with Louise Welsh before a filled chapel. We'll be back in the Autumn with another riveting line-up of poets and writers.

Beautiful heartfelt poetry reading by William Letford today in the chapel. Hope to see you guys next week, 1 PM, for a Creative Conversation with fiction writer Linda Cracknell. She's a short story writer, recent debut novelist, and editor. (Also, she writes plays and radio dramas -- there's gonna be lots to talk about).
