To confuse everyone I’ve changed the name of my new literary magazine to Anodos – and I think I’ll let you look that one up! It’s the pseudonym of Mary E Coleridge, the great great niece of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The standard of submissions has been very high and it will be available as an e-zine as well as a virtual magazine so you can see what you think even if you don’t visit our crazy world.

The best event we had at our SLiterary venue this week – for me anyway – was a reading by Californian Secundo Dharma using live voice streaming. It was lovely to hear one of my poems in his Californian accent, and I was up well into the night to hear everyone else’s poems. How many other ways could writers from the US, UK and other countries meet up and share their writing?

I’ve been having fun at Random House this week too. They’re building a lovely location called Elysian Isle and have the type of reading groups and debates you mentioned. I was there for a different reason though – doing the tango in their new Moonlight Club! Let the luddites sneer – we’re having all the fun!
