Towards the end of last year I got wind of a plan being hatched by Erica Drayton. There was an idea, to bring together a group of remarkable people, to see if they could deliver a weekend of live readings that would together form a mini online writing festival.
A couple of months later and the weekend has come and gone. You can find out more over on the Top In Fiction newsletter, including links to many of the other readings. I’m posting the recording of my reading today.
I had originally thought to read the prologue to Tales from the Triverse, because that’s the first chapter of the serial. It was a touch over the word count Erica had set, which prompted me to think of an alternative. I considered ‘Work parties’, but it’s frankly just a bit too grim and unrepresentative of the series as a whole. Choosing ‘The Koth’ made sense, as it functions almost as a second introduction to the series — if the prologue is the ‘pilot’, then ‘The Koth’ is the proper episode 1.
Thank you to everyone who showed up to listen to me witter on, including Ben Wakeman, CB Mason | YA Dystopian+Sci-Fi, Tell Me a Mystery, Daniel O’Donnell, Minna, Mike Miller and many others.
