Over the last few months there have been substantial changes to my website. Following feedback from those who have visited the site I’ve simplified the look of the site and made it a lot easier to navigate round. Aesthetically, I think it is much improved. I hope you’ll think so too.

The website continues developing. A recent addition is the interviews section, where I chew the cud with writers, artists and musicians. Last week I posted up the latest interview, with Rodge Glass who talks about his work as assistant and biographer to the now-legendary Scottish writer and artist, Alasdair Gray. Rodge’s debut novel, ‘No Fireworks’ will be published next month by Faber & Faber.

In recent months The AA Independent Press Guide has been substantially updated. The Writers’ Resources links page has grown, as has the page of links to writers’ and artists’ personal websites. The Internet Magazines links page continues to expand, with over 750 webzines now listed.
