Three Great VP Events for January 2012

Note: since this was first posted, the venue for 'VP Fest London' has had to be revised - see below.

Hello blog readers!  Some exciting posts are coming your way in the next couple of weeks - I've been spending the Winter cooking up a lot of exciting stuff for this year, starting with the following three events:

---------------

Jo Brandon's 'Phobia' Book Launch - Leeds
Friday 20th January, 8-9pm at The Carriageworks

Phobia is the first solo publication from one of the brightest rising stars in British poetry.  A former editor of the Cadaverine ezine, Jo's poems are skillful examinations of fear and hope, vulnerability and strength; rave reviews are flooding into VP HQ, and you can be there at the start by attending the free launch event, hosted by James Nash.  All the details can be read on the book's official page here.

---------------

Valley Press Fest! - Scarborough
Saturday 21st January, 11-1pm at Taylors (Bar Street), 2-4pm at Scarborough Public Library

Two events, two venues, seven of the finest writers ever assembled in one room - and completely free to attend! The day will start with a signing at Taylors of Bar Street, Scarborough's new independent bookshop and cafe, and move on to a reading at Scarborough Public Library in the afternoon. For full details, and a list of the authors appearing, consult the website at http://www.valleypressuk.com/vpfest/

Valley Press Fest! - London
Friday 27th January, 7pm at The Horseshoe

VP comes to London for the southern leg of 'Valley Press Fest'; held in the function room of The Horseshoe (Clerkenwell Close), the evening will feature readings from Jo Brandon, Norah Hanson, Steve Rudd and VP founder Jamie McGarry (in a first ever London appearance - also known for expertly writing in the third person!) Tickets are just £2, and will be available on the door.  More information can be found on the event's Facebook page here, and will be on the 'VP Fest' page next week.

Hope to see some of you at some of these!
