Well, here comes 2010...
2009 involved many gigs, readings, appearances and performances in, among other places, Waterford, Edinburgh, Ullapool, Cromarty, Cheltenham, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Birnam. Thanks to everyone who came along and made them fun.
2010 will be a slightly quieter year because - of course - this is a novel-writing year. Nevertheless, there will be an amount of toing and froing particularly in the Spring.
Department 5 will be posting more information and links for specific events as the year progresses, but here are a few dates to getting on with.
You will also notice that we have the first date of the US, Canadian wanderings - in Santa Fe, courtesy of the Lannan Foundation. More dates and places will be added.
ALK also undertakes teaching and events which are open to the public, so this isn't a complete list - just in case you make a request for something and are told that a date is unavailable, even though it isn't marked down here. And there are always all those hours and hours of novel pondering, novel tinkering and novel despair to be packed in...
