So, as part of creative industries me and my fellow teammates have been placed in charge of the upcoming Runnymede literary festival, Or R-Fest if you wish. The first workshop on offer is one with Doug Cowie, Hemingway tutor and Writer galore. the information pack that we were given for this event reveals that the big Dougie C is releasing a new book in the near future, and while it is unlikely to be the literary moment of the year i do recommend that anyone reading this blog should buy it and also turn up to this event. His first novel, while far from groundbreaking, was a good read, and one that i managed to re-read in a day or so recently, (and i rarely re-read books) which reminded me of the steady pace that the novel moves forward at. You can probably get a copy of Owen No-one and the Marauder on Marketplace or ebay if you fancy putting my review to test, although Doug would probably prefer if you bought one direct from him.
P.S this time next year we should all be releasing our novels too. (Or Poems or plays)
Good Luck.

I can see already you'll be making a note of this for your 1000 word write up of the project..."underwent extensive publicity in literary circles in the medium of the world wide web, most notably in my own blog (see footnoted below)"
i'm not entirely convinced by ur plugging, mayb another post on why the runnymede festival is a must this literary season would help...
interesting- saw the departmental email today about this. should be good.
