For Books’ Sake Presents: The 2nd Birthday Bash
As you might have seen last week, we’ve just turned two. So we’re having a party to celebrate! We’re teaming up with BookMachine for our 2nd birthday bash, taking place at The Star & Garter in Manchester on Friday 12th October 2012.
We’d love you to come along for booze, birthday cake, live literary performances and party games aplenty, with the shenanigans in store including:
- Short story writer Zoe Lambert, author of The War Tour. Zoe is one of ten authors featured in the For Books’ Sake pulp fiction collection, Short Stack.
- Poet and performance artist Claire Robertson, featured at For Books’ Sake Presents: Books & Blues at Chorlton Arts Festival.
- Novelist Emma Jane Unsworth, author of Hungry, The Stars and Everything, featured at the For Books’ Sake’s Mad Hatter’s Tea Party at Not Part of Festival.
- Les Malheureux, a live literature collaboration between writers Sarah-Clare Conlon and David Gaffney, combining music, storytelling and visuals to create something stranger than fiction.
Plus prizes, suprises, and lots more, all for free!Image via Omer Wazir
I am THERE. I am EXCITED.
I wish I could come but it’s the day after my birthday which, combined with work, make getting there a bit tricksy. All have drinks for me please!
What a shame! But the drinking bit we can definitely do.
Sounds like it will be a nice event. I wish I could be there with you people, but living halfway across the world doesn’t make it possible.
Thanks Thalita! Maybe you can join in virtually…?
