Alt.Fiction 2012 at Phoenix Square

By Adele Wearing:

Alt.Fiction 2012

A weekend of sci fi, fantasy and horror at The Phoenix on 14th and 15th April 2012.

The festival, run by Writing East Midlands, provides an opportunity for writers and fans to hear from their favourite authors, find out more about the world of publishing and learn more about the writing process, while networking with agents, publishers and other writers.

Guest of honour for the festival, now in its sixth year, will be multi-award winning science fiction author, Ken McLeod.  The event will take a fresh approach to genre writing.

There will also be a strong emphasis on guiding new writers entering the writing business, as well as other new opportunities such as open mic flash fiction, and a literary tour of Leicester by bike, courtesy of Leicester Cycle City.
