We have finalised the programme for our workshop on the 16th June. Venue is Propsero House, 241 Borough High Street. More info here. In my opinion, Sophie Rochester of The Literary Platform has put together one of the most interesting programmes for a digital publishing event to date.
The workshop has sold out. If you have booked, can we please encourage you to arrive promptly, as we have a lot to fit into the day. Thanks
The hashtag to follow on Thursday is #FIW11
