From Arthur's Seat: Volume Eight launch

In brief

Venue - Project Room 1.06, 50 George Square

Organiser - MSc Creative Writing students of 2022 - 23

About the event

From Arthur’s Seat is an annual anthology of short prose and poetry entirely produced by the MSc Creative Writing cohort of the University of Edinburgh. The voices in the collection are international and multi-faceted, coming from many different cultures and backgrounds. However, the heart of this anthology lies in Edinburgh, where the writers have come together and read, responded to, influenced, and celebrated each other’s work.

It demonstrates international literary talent and celebrates the power of Edinburgh as a city of literature. We will enjoy readings from the anthology, networking and drinks.
