North East Group: Publishing Literary Fiction

Join the North East Group for their next meeting on Saturday 26 April at 11am, doors open from 10.40am.

At this meeting Professor Lars Iyer, Professor of Creative Writing at Newcastle University, will be discussing ‘Getting long-form literary fiction published’.

Lars Iyer’s novels reflect his longstanding experience as a Lecturer in Philosophy and are fundamentally comic in style and vision. They have been translated into many languages and have been widely reviewed. He was recently profiled in the Washington Post: Lars Iyer continues to have fun with philosophy in ‘My Weil’. He is best known for the Spurious Trilogy : Spurious (2011), Dogma (2012), Exodus (2013), the last volume of which was shortlisted for the Goldsmith’s Award.
