About the Lab Series

Sam and Steve re-encountered eachother in Out on the Page and have been meeting and talking psychogeograhy for a couple of years now. This idea has come from there. Sam says,

 'I imagine us meeting once a month, developing our knowledge and understanding of this niche area of writing; perhaps  doing some group reading (like a bookclub), bringing any WIP writing to the Lab for discussion, developing collaborations, just seeing where it takes us.'
