8X8 is the fourth annual MMU Cheshire / Stockport College illustrated anthology. The first stage of the process that results in this lovely product is at the beginning of the college year, when MMU Cheshire’s second and third year writers submit their fiction coursework. The best eight pieces are chosen to go into the anthology and passed over to students on the second year of Stockport College’s 3D Illustration degree who are given the chance to compete to be part of the project. Come and celebrate the creativity of some of the region’s most talented students, with readings and animations of new work. Free. Booking advised on 0843 208 0500 or via Quay Tickets. A Manchester Literature Festival event.
