Looking forward to meeting the Falkirk Writers' Circle on Tuesday 2nd October – we're doing a workshop on editing fiction. By special request, my seasonal bear will also be attending, so I'll have to look out his best suit for the occasion. https://t.co/XwUo4OhiwJ — Dr Cathy McSporran (@CathyMcSporran) September 24, 2018

Looking forward to the launch of the latest From Glasgow to Saturn this Wednesday. One of the Garnethill Writers Group, Mandy Watson, will be reading from the story she's published in this issue; so I'll be there to bask in her reflected glory. It's free, and everyone's welcome. https://t.co/6fCgA7kM6Q — Dr Cathy McSporran (@CathyMcSporran) September…

Thanks to everyone at the Glasgow Writing Group for a great short story writing workshop today. They're based in the basement library in Glasgow Museum of Modern Art, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive writing club in the city center. https://t.co/pD3f3kNmks — Dr Cathy McSporran (@CathyMcSporran) September 13, 2018

Great session today at Aberdeen Central Library. Everyone very bright and engaged – we've got the makings of a wonderful collection of short stories. Looking forward to our next meeting on the 22nd. — Dr Cathy McSporran (@CathyMcSporran) September 8, 2018
