I'm reading flash fiction here this Saturday – I'm on first or early at least. Come buy me an early birthday drink, or get Rhian Edwards, who is also reading, a belated one...

This year's Imagistic features six writers, including Rhian Edwards, Tyler Keevil, Ivy Alvarez, and Susie Wild, along with six artists, including Robert Harding, Keith Bayliss and Maja Spasova, in collaborations in which the writers respond to artists with new work – or for the first time in Imagistic, vice versa.
In the first set of collaborations, three writers have chosen an image by one of the artists as an inspiration for a new short story, up to 1,000 words.
Rebecca Smith will work from a painting (above) by Medina Hammad; Tyler Keevil will respond to a painting by Magda Kozarzewska; and Sarah Hayden has chosen a work by sculptor Robert Harding.
In the second collaborations, we are flipping this relationship, so that the artists who have taken part in previous Imagistic events will create a piece of art inspired in some way by the writer they were previously paired with.
Artist Paul Edwards will respond to new poems by Rhian Edwards; Maja Spasova to work by Ivy Alvarez; and Keith Bayliss to the story Susie Wild wrote in the very first Imagistic.
On the night, the writers will read their work with the images linked to the writing projected.
The event is part of National Flash Fiction Day, which features events across the UK.
The photo montage above is Keith's response to my story 'We Hang in the Balance' in response to another image by him...
It's a dark little story.
