My first event for 2011 is also my first as writer in residence for the University of Glasgow and Glasgow School of Art.

I will be reading from my work and answering questions about my new role on Tuesday 18th January in Room T415, Adam Smith Building, University of Glasgow at 5.30pm. Micaela Maftei will chair. The event is free and open to all.

From now on I'll be spending Thursdays at Glasgow University and Fridays at the Art  School where I will be available to staff and students who would like to discuss their creative writing. My University email is louise.welsh@glasgow.ac.uk – the Art School email will follow, but if you're a member of staff or a student at Glasgow School of Art please  feel free to get in touch via the uni address.
