Edge-Lit - first schedule announcement!

Hi Guys,

Wednesday is not normally a day I get terribly excited about - after all, it's still a fair way from the weekend - but today is a rather lovely exception as I can release the first schedule details for Edge-Lit. We'll be taking over five different spaces at the fantastic QUAD in Derby, and filling them jam-packed with panels, workshops, readings, films booksales and more! You can check out our provisional schedule below - there'll be a more detailed version coming out a little nearer the time, but hopefully this should whet your appetite for what should be an absolutely superb day. And remember - everything you see below is included within your £25 ticket price!
