April’s Spring Clean Salon

At this month’s Literary Salon we’re having a joint discussion on what’s coming up in our literary lives in the coming months and – indeed – the rest of the year. The main purpose of the Salon is to bring people together to meet other literary folk, share ideas, discuss and debate, and generally socialise with those of like mind.
Led by members of our Steering Group, we’ll be springing forward to see what plans and proposals people can give us as we prepare our ongoing programme of monthly events. To help us listen to our audience, we want to hear what you as Salon Attendees would like to happen, what themes we could explore, what sort of events we may hold.
We’ll pop them all in a basket and read them out anonymously. If anyone would like to approach us directly to volunteer help or ideas, the Steering Group will be on hand.
We’d also like to hear about our members’ spring cleaning plans. What exciting writing is in the pipeline, is there a shelved project that needs dusting off and relaunching? Will the longer evenings lead to finally reducing that TBR pile, or will the shifting yardarm interfere as the pop of prosecco bottles overpowers the cuckoo!
As usual The Outhouse are hosting us, and we’ll be in the Function Room. Grab a drink from the downstairs bar, come up and fill in a name-label so we know who you are, and our icebreaker will assist in mingling if you’re new to the Salon.
The style of this month’s Salon doesn’t lend itself to livestreaming, but we still want feedback from those who can’t be with us in person, or who regularly join by Zoom. Just go to https://www.edinburghliterarysalon.org/contact-us and send us an email with suggestions. We will share these thoughts and ideas with everyone at the Salon.
