Hello. I\u2019m Adele Banks.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to discuss anything at all related to the Literary Estate of Iain Banks and\/or Iain M Banks, please direct your correspondence to Norah Perkins, the agent for the Estate at Curtis Brown Heritage. You can get in touch with her here:<\/p>\n

Norah Perkins norah.perkins@curtisbrown.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

There's an excellent official site for Iain\u2019s Estate at iainbanks.co.uk<\/a> - while it might sound a wee bit dismissive to say you may find answers to the most commonly asked questions there, it is true you may find answers to the most commonly asked questions there.<\/p><\/div>

If you\u2019d like to discuss anything at all related to Dead by Dawn, Scotland\u2019s International Horror Film Festival<\/a>, please get in touch at my festival account:<\/p>\n

adele@deadbydawn.co.uk<\/a><\/p><\/div>

If you’d like to invite me to talk to film students about how programming really works and successfully navigating the film festival circuit, to host screenings, to guide programmers looking to specialise in horror, or to contribute in print, on a pod or even actual radio, you can reach me at adele@adelebanks.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

I’d also love to hear from you if you have some other interesting project pitch which makes good use of my 30+ years career – not just as a film festival director, film programmer and festival curator but also my experience as a film festival jury member, short fiction editor, short fiction publisher and radio presenter.<\/p>\n

Cheers, Adele<\/p><\/div>

ps, you won't find me on TikTok, WhatsApp, X or Instagram. For reasons.<\/p><\/div>
