2008 is a landmark year for the Edinburgh Book Festival. Not only is it the festival's 25th anniversary, not only is Sir Sean Connery appearing, not only do they have more authors from more countries than ever before - but this year they have me too...
On the 19th of August I am chairing a panel on Human Beings & Technology (in the Spiegeltent too - fancy!) which will feature Charles Leadbeter, plus a couple of other folks I need to track down. The story of how this came to be is long and hilarious and will be turned into a sitcom at some point.
Then, on the 22nd, I am back again running a workshop on writing for videogames. This makes more sense, since this is the topic I've been boring students at Napier with for the last few semesters now.
And the workshop takes place right after PR craftsman (I refuse to use the term 'supremo' or 'guru' in this context) Mark Borkowski, who handled the campaign for GTA 2.
Small world, the book world.
So, if you can't get tickets to go see Tam. Come see me.
