My little writers fest is tomorrow! What’s that word for excited/terrified?

West Aussies, Perth people, if you happen to be in the Bridgetown area for a winter weekend break, feel free to drop in :) If nothing else, you can get one of Pip’s Devonshire Teas with scones as big as your head for the first time in about a decade

Time for another Writing the Occult: Time & Place session debrief, and this time it's all that Steve Toase has planned for us on 5 September...

Steve's a fan of the biker books of 1970s pulp fiction - in fact, he often covers them on his own blog - but what can we as creators learn from them underneath all the pulp-ness?

Writes Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in The Hound of the Baskervilles: "The past and the present are within the field of my inquiry, but what a man may do in the future is a hard question to answer."

Ponder questions of time and space with us on 5 September at the next edition of Writing the Occult!

It's not Writing the Occult without one of the Spec Fic For Newbies team popping in for a lecture - and we're bringing back Tiffani Angus to lead us in a workshop all about writing time travel. Rather appropriate for a Time & Place day, no? Meet Tiffani (again) ⬇️
