I'm quoting Alex Davies below. (with a couple of very minor alterations - like spam proofing the e mail)
Quote:
...it's been decided that Alt.Fiction will now be run by a steering group based here in Derby, taking in some of our partner organizations plus some of our superb volunteers, who will have the chance to get more fully involved in the event. There were some really exciting ideas coming out yesterday, and it obviously enables us to bring new skills and knowledge to the event. I may be involved in the steering group to a small extent, but time will tell on that one. The event takes place next year over the weekend of 21st-23rd May at its new venue, Derby Quad. It's an exciting venue move, as it opens up possibilities to extend the programme into film and multimedia.
The booking of the event is going to be the responsibility of my current job-share, Catherine Rogers, who typically works on a Monday and Tuesday- some of you may well have met her at the event earlier this year. You can reach her at catherine (dot) rogers at derby (dot) gov (dot) uk.
Alex has left Derby Literature Development now and I want to thank him for his work at Alt Fiction. TTA took full advantage with a selling table there, we had a good time and so did many others. All the best in your new job Alex.
