Having written and published through the wonderful Roncadora Press a mad book about the poet John Keats’ journey through Dumfries and Galloway, I’ve been trying to fund a project to trace the rest of John Keats’ walking journey through Scotland and turn it into another even bigger daft book. Creative Scotland have just turned me down for the second time. I’m therefore going to try and crowd fund it. I’m looking for £2000 for the whole two month project. Completely understand if you’re skint - I’ve spent my life skint for one reason or another - but pass this on to whatever millionaires you know.

I’ve helped crowdfund a few creative projects and it’s been very worthwhile to help nurture something unique into the world. This will be unique, I promise.
