Bibulous literary event, Words on Tap, celebrates the LS13 anthology and its authors at the end of this month, with readings from Cristina Archetti, Jenny Beech, Gareth Durasow and Richard Smyth. We will be decamping from the Chemic Tavern and moving to HEART cafe in Headingley for one night only, but there'll still be plenty of open mic slots and copies of LS13 available to buy.
Cristina Archetti follows her questions wherever they might lead. She is a guerrilla researcher, a qualified boxing instructor, a failed knitter, and accidental creative writer. The University of Salford, her employer, thinks she is a Senior Lecturer in Politics & Media. She is interested in terrorism, war, the impact of communication technologies on politics and society, journalism. Currently, she is plotting the overthrow of the higher education publishing industry by using stories to disseminate academic research. Find out more about her here: Academia.Edu
