“O.M.G.” I hear you gasp. “How can I get access to those tickets and the chance of a big fat voucher that I can use to buy books and coffee and wine and…and…?”.
Well, you can:
-Buy a ticket or two for one of our two featured events (Fsiling Writers and/or Find Your Story) BEFORE THE END OF MONDAY (8th)
-Email your ticket receipt/email thingy to [email protected] with the subject line as “GARY IS A COOL NAME”
-Then we will put all these millions of emails in a big pot and randomly select 2 lucky people
*The small print: if you buy tickets to Failing Writers event, voucher covers 2 tickets (if you buy 2 tickets or more) and for the Find Your Story event, voucher covers 1 ticket. If no-one buys any tickets then Gary gets all the vouchers.

Not content with destabilising the foundations of the music industry (new and emerging artists), Spotify now stepping up its work to wade into the literature world - and the our industry trade publication prints their plans as if it’s all very exciting - nice work - please support for audiobooks, support , support your community and your high street, reject extractive organisations like this (or at least acknowledge what they’re doing and talk about it!)…rant…rant…exasperated
