Scottish Writers' Centre Silence and Other Stories with Tim Turnbull

In the last five years, Tim Turnbull has made a transition from writer and performer of poems to short story writer, with a brief excursion into long-form prose. This evening's event takes its name from Tim's collection of short stories, Silence and Other Stories, published this year.

Tim will discuss the differing demands of each discipline and how he transitions from poet to prose writer. He is currently working on a new novel, a commissioned long narrative poem, as well as various stories. He will also talk about the problems of trying to keep (at least) three balls in the air, and about how he has tried, with varying degrees of success, to streamline his work schedule.
