Absolute highlight was the can of #Pepsi Gordon found in a box in Antarctica and he ingested 50+ Yr old prunes found inside. I had no idea he was bringing this to the showcase last night. After writing a Sci-Fi story about the box, the cans set me on fire! He is also an incredible artist & painter.

Issue 14 (Oxen of the sun, gorse theme: Multitudes) will be announced very soon, with pre-order details. It's a special issue that breaks form and the notion of what a literary journal should look like. In the meantime, enjoy a picture of Jacob Elordi reading James Elkin (as featured in g12).

Six weeks to work on your short story, from June 30th to August 25th. Learn from others, learn from yourself. See an idea through to a complete story that manages to surprise. Get published (every time, every course, I see people jump that wall!). An opportunity to focus.
