If you’re looking for some early-morning literature in central Edinburgh this August, The Early Word at Captains Bar would be a fine place to head for. It’s a 9:30 am single-author reading with a question and answer session. Tickets are £5.50 (£4.50 concs), with a cake and a coffee thrown into the price. I’m reading there on Tuesday 2 August. The rest of the emerging lineup is at the link above. It’s looking good!
