Latest Writing News

I have a couple of pieces online at the moment. A story called 'The Word' at Metazen. And at good old 4'33" you can hear me reading my story 'Windowpanes' at the Betsy Trotwood in Clerkenwell last November. It was a great reading and it's lovely to hear how well it's come out.

My other news is that I'm about to start translating a novel, 'Mede Namens Mijn Vrouw' by Aliefka Bijlsma. I'm going to write more about that soon. I plan to try and blog regularly about how translating works for me, as a writer, and what I'm learning that I might be able to put into practice in my own work.

I'm curious about that translating business—and congrats on the publications, too. THE WORD is fantastic. The London reading I heard and I loved it then, too.

Thanks, Marcus! I will blog about the translating, I think it'll be a useful way for me to mull over what it does for my writing. I've translated screenplays before but this is the first novel. A lot of words...
