![]() Peggy Hughes Editor |
Peggy co-founded the West Port Book Festival after working at the Edinburgh International Book Festival and StAnza, Scotland's poetry festival. As well as being involved with the Edinburgh based Shore Poets and organising events at the Scottish Poetry Library, Peggy is a literary reviewer for a number of national publications. Peggy also has some rather spectacular spectacles. |
![]() Colin Fraser Editor-in-chief |
Colin has taught Philosophy and Cognitive Science at Edinburgh and Stirling Universities, been a researcher in Artificial Intelligence, eDemocracy and Linguistics (but not all at the same time!) and is a co-founder of the website Confiction.org. He was a Twitterer in Residence for New Media Scotland in 2009, and was one of the organisers of the world's first Literary Twestival. Now getting into the heady world of podcasting, his spectacles are rather less spectacular than Peggy's. |
![]() Aiko Harman Editorial Assistant |
Aiko is the main point of contact for submissions and she ensures the anonymous submissions process is adhered to. She is a recent Creative Writing Masters graduate of the University of Edinburgh, and a not so recent graduate of UCLA. Aiko is on the editorial board of Forest Publishing and is a widely published poet. She has been helping us with the submissions for Anon Seven. |
![]() Lucas Dixon Technical Advisor |
Lucas is a researcher in Artificial Intelligence at Edinburgh University. He is also the co-founder, with Colin and Ben Young, of the eDemocracy organisation KenYersel. He devised our splendid submissions system. He has many interests, but none of these involve spectacles. |
