I’m very excited about my forthcoming trip to China for the Bookworm International Literary Festival. Events are as follows:

13th March, 2pm, Yishu 8, Beijing - Writing Dialogue, a workshop
14th March, 3pm, One Way Street Library, Beijing - Beyond the Brontes, discussing the best of today’s fiction and poetry from across the British Isles (with Chinese translation)
16th March, 7.30pm, Yishu 8, Beijing - Literary dinner
18th March, 7.30pm, The Bookworm, Chengdu - Breaking into Novel Territory

All details can be found in the festival programme, which you can download here.

And a quick update to say what an amazing trip this was! Great festival, and both Bookworms are dream independent bookshops with brilliant cafe bars, exactly the kind of places I wish were near me here in Glasgow. Really interesting events too. You can find some photos of the session at the One Way Street Library with Louise Welsh and Jill Dawson here, courtesy of Mr Jason Shen. (Check out his ‘love metal’ too!) Meanwhile, here’s a photo of a panda. Or is it a man in a panda suit?
