Following on from the successful London event chaired by Jeremy, I’m getting the USA into the act with an evening modestly entitled ‘The Future of Print’, discussing independent magazines and celebrating the US release of We Make Magazines.
It takes place next Wednesday, 8th July at the Art Directors Club in New York. Come along, do!

I’m still on the move (and have picked up some rather fun things on my travels, more of that in a couple of weeks when the Blogsplosion will return proper with a papery boom) but in the meantime, I have a special offer for London-based readers: to celebrate the UK launch of The Doorbells of Florence (my rather gorgeous new fiction book containing pretty photos of doorbells and lovely hand-drawn typography, published by Chronicle Books), I’m giving a special reading at Stanfords, home of all things travelicious.
Tickets normally cost £5, but as a Magtastic reader, you can get in free with the password “Ding Dong”. There’ll be some free wine, and of course a reading by yours truly from the book, parts of which have recently been adapted online by The Guardian. The LA Times called it “a breath of fresh air for those willing to lose their grip on rationality”, so come along, loosen your grip, and breathe deeply.
The full details:
Wednesday 1st July, 7.30pm
Stanfords, 12-14 Long Acre, Covent Garden
Seekrit password: Ding dong
Also forthcoming that week are free readings in Leeds and Manchester – more information on the site.
