The Raconteur Launch
The Raconteur will be available from April in various outlets, at many Literature Festivals throughout the summer, but also from the official website.
www.theraconteur.co.uk
Buying the magazine is the only way to read exclusive new work from Alain de Botton, Adrian Masters, Lucy Christopher, Niall Grifiths, Rachel Trezise to name but a few.
The Raconteur
Due for launch in May 2009, new international literary journal, The Raconteur, will see the cumulative efforts of Gary Raymond, Dylan Moore and a strong stable of other regular and guest contributors hit shelves around the world. The magazine aims to achieve only one thing; to present the best writing on the globe, written with charm, skill, intelligence and wit, by the best writers around on whatever subject they feel passionate about.
The website, which will go into much further detail, is shortly to be alive and breathing. Until then, if you have any queries or ideas for contributions you can contact me through this site.
Watch this space for updates on the mag.

Where am I?
This weekend I will be alongside some extremely talented writers at the Hay-on-Wye Fringe Festival, reading some of my work and generally moping around complaining how busy everyhwere is. If you intend to be at the Festival this year, come along and see us. If you are unfamiliar with CFUK Magazine, the event organisers, it will be a great opportunity to introduce yourself to a publication that grows in cultural importance with each issue - now whether that is due to the expansion of the magazine or the recession of the society around it is up for debate, but that makes it no less important. Details of the bash are below and I look forward to seeing you there.
Saturday 26th May
