As you probably know, Transmission #12 is out on Monday (with sneak peeks available here), but in the run-up to the release we would like to share information about the North West Publishers’ Showcase this coming Wednesday 15th October.
We will be showing off the new issue with a market stall at The Bluecoat in Liverpool as part of the Chapter and Verse Festival. Here you will have a chance not only to see what Transmission has to offer, but also what is going on in the literary North West in general.

The North West Publishers’ Showcase
Literature Northwest presents a unique opportunity to sample some of the region’s finest independent publishing – from radical poetry to cutting edge short fiction, graphic novels to beautifully produced, highly collectible local history books. Come along to see books you’re not likely to find in our increasingly homogenised high street shops!
The event also showcases a handful of new and established writers from the region, including Dominic Berry (Flap Jack), John Redmond (Carcanet), Phil Domigo (Countyvise), and many others. Budding writers are invited to find out how to get their work published online and in print with online magazine, Incorporating Writing. There is also a chance for those with an interest in independent publishing to hear from Avril Heffernan, Literature Officer (ACE North West, 11.30am) and Antonia Byatt (Head of Literature, Arts Council England, 5pm).
The Bluecoat, School Lane, Liverpool
Wednesday 15 October, 11am - 5pm; Market 12noon - 4pm
Best of all it’s free, so there’s no excuse not to come and see what’s going on in the literary North West!
