ADRIAN SEARLE - January's speaker
For our speaker this month we are lucky enough to have Adrian Searle of Freight Books. Freight recently won the Saltire Society's Publisher of the Year Award. Freight's most recent titles include 'I Am Because You Are', an anthology of stories, mostly fiction, celebrating the centenary of the general theory of relativity, and he has a gang of well-kent authors which includes Janice Galloway, Linda Cracknell and Kirstin Innes whose novel 'Fishnet' just won the Not The Booker Aware. Freight also publish Gutter Magazine a regular anthology of work by Scotland's best. Adrian is also an author in his own right so he knows both sides of the publishing story. With Judith Hastie, he co-authored '101 Uses of a Dead Kindle' (yay!) which was a BA top five Christmas Books of the Year 2012 and won two Scottish Design Awards in 2013.
