Autumn Events

We’re gearing up for a really busy autumn, now that we’ve finished our new book.
September already saw us do some events at the excellent Tidelines Book Festival, and we’ll continue giving talks and delivering workshops in schools and libraries around Britain over the coming months.

We’ll also be doing several public events at The Lakes International Comic Art Festival including a talk on how we self-published over the years, two drop-in workshops for 7-10 (free), and a signing at Waterstones in Kendal. We’re very excited about “The Magic of Metaphrog”, a free exhibition which runs from October 1st until October 31st, featuring some Louis pages and also a preview of pages from our forthcoming book with Papercutz..

Another exciting event is the Comics Lab, which we’ll be running for Scottish Book Trust and Literary Dundee. The event will be an intensive in-depth course on making comics and graphic novels. We’re delighted with the list of amazing guests who will be speaking and sharing their industry knowledge: Bryan Talbot, Mary Talbot, David Bishop, Alex Bowler, Kate Charlesworth, Isabel Greenberg, William Goldsmith, Chris Murray, John McShane and Phillip Vaughan. This is a closed event, and the deadline for applications has now passed.

We’ve also been invited to speak at Helsinki’s International school and are really looking forward to spending a few days there, doing several workshops and assembly talks to the whole school.

Plus, Book Week Scotland will see us travelling around the country including a visit to Aberdeen and Northfield Academy where we are Patrons of Reading.
