Launching at Hay Festival, Sunday 29 May 2011
Brilliant, it's just what publishing needs.

This is an idea whose time has come.

Important... the significance could be quite substantial.

Right up my street.

A bloody brilliant idea.

What’s happening inside the writer’s shed?
At this year’s Hay Festival a revolutionary approach to publishing will be revealed in the Unbound Shed at 10.30am on Sunday 29 May.
The brainchild of three writers (QI’s John Mitchinson and Justin Pollard and Crap Towns author and former Deputy Editor of The Idler, Dan Kieran), Unbound will completely re-draw the boundaries between authors and their readers. The project has the support of a major publisher as well as a number of high profile authors looking to set their books free.
At 8.30pm in the Sky Arts Studio, the Unbound trio will be joined by Terry Jones, Monty Python writer and performer, cloud-guru Gavin Pretor-Pinney, Booker-shortlisted novelist Tibor Fischer and The Horse Boy author Rupert Isaacson, who will be opening up their own Unbound ideas to fans. Tickets to Unbound at Hay cost £6 from www.hayfestival.com
More Unbound writers will be revealed throughout the week at Hay, where readers can visit the Unbound Shed to meet authors and to find out more.
