Sites of Alternative Publishing - 1st piece of work exhibited!

I owe a lot to Annexe Mag once again for giving me one of my 'firsts' (*snicker*) - this time, my first piece to be properly showcased at an exhibit, in a very random but funky space in Hackney.

Nick Murray, the editor of Annexe, went beyond just plastering words up - he printed them on paper reels that were run through a tape played on a bespoke tape-player/reader thing. It's better in person  - I do no justice here at all. Perhaps a rather unbecoming photo of my goofy self, goofily happy at seeing my own personal tape will help to emit how awesome it all was. You can also see a demo of it here.

So naturally, you want to go check it out for yourself, non? There is other wonderful work on display courtesy of Pigeon Magazine and Very Small Kitchen's - all put together by Ladies of the Press. 

The exhibition is Sites of Alternative Publishing and is running until March 4th at the Five Years Gallery. So if you happen to be around, drop in and have a peruse.

My first piece of writing to be published online :)

Joy today - Words with Jam's latest issue it out today and with it, my wee little excerpt on my love of libraries.

The issue looks fantastic this month, so make sure to check it out. It includes interesting articles such as:

• 'How Not to Lose Friends and Alienate People...and still carry on writing' (super relevant to all of us who live by the pen and struggle with work life balance)
• Inspiration techniques 
• What Kind of Procrastinator Are You?
• Facebook for Writers
• Where in the World Wide Web? (for researchers) 

My article is on page 50 spread; let me know what you think :D Had to take a quick snapshot of my name in print and all that..!

MOOD: so excited that my name has appeared in print. This is just as awesome as having that paragraph dedicated to Sketchbook TV is Sketchbook Magazine's 2nd issue of the editor's note.
