Hi Everyone,
Just coming out of the other end of a heavy day of meetings, mostly about the future of literature provision in the East Midlands- unfortunately that's rather too long a story for this blog!!
However, something I am very pleased to post about will be the Alt.Fiction schedule, which is now at a publishable point. Of course this comes with the usual disclaimer that things may change due to unforeseen circumstances, but it should look a little something like this...

You'll notice that the signing session is new, and I'm hoping to have a confirmed list of participants in that some point next week. But all in all I think it's an exciting day of events and hopefully one that everyone can enjoy!
All comments welcome, good or bad, on the look of the programming...
Will be back soon, hopefully with some news on 2009!
Thanks a lot
Alex

Schedule looks goods. Not too much in the way of clashing timeslots, probably the most difficult part of the whole thing.
You sorting out the discounted accomodation next? Some people need to sort out where they're staying.
Damn, I was only going to come for the day... but the script-writing panel makes it difficult not to stay overnight.
