Extra Teeth: Issue Five Launch
On:9th June 2022, 7:00pm - 8:00pm
We are EXTRA ecstatic to be hosting the launch of Extra Teeth Issue Five right here in the bookshop and online!
About Extra Teeth Issue Five:
How do we stretch love across the language barrier? How do we connect when our points of connection are broken? And how do we create community when the foundations are so fragile?
These questions and more are asked, and answered, in the twelve stories and essays that make up Extra Teeth's most abstract yet humane issue so far.
Join us to hear from contributors Harry Josephine Giles (Deep Wheel Orcadia), Ely Percy (Duck Feet) and Ayla Douglas as we launch the fifth issue of Extra Teeth.
Wines will be provided by Smith and Gertrude, and non alcoholic options will be available.
Extra Teeth is a biannual literary magazine focused on new writing coming from writers in Scotland, but with an International outlook. Publishing innovative and unique stories, Extra Teeth is full of words with bite.
Please note: Tickets for our events are non-refundable. Professional photography and videography may take place during this event. Thank you for your understanding.

Wheelchair Access
We have a ramp at the front of the shop which has a ratio of 1:10 and loading capacity of 300kg, and so should be able to be used by most wheelchair users or those with mobility vehicles. The front doors are fully automated. Our shop interior is designed to allow access throughout for wheelchair users and prams, though please note there is only 700mm wide clearance to access the staff toilet.
Sound
We use a PA system to enhance the audio at our live events. We also have a hearing loop system installed, if you’d like to use our loop system during an event please let us know and we’ll make sure we have it set up and connected to the live audio feed during the event. If you wish to attend an event and require BSL interpretation, please give us a few weeks notice and we’ll do our best to arrange an interpreter.
