Edinburgh Festival Days 6 & 7: Me Myself Us
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Seven days to deadline and novelist Phil Fielding is suffering major writer's block. His imagination has got up and gone. In fact, his imagination has become a separate person, and one who refuses to be coerced into writing 150,000 words in a week ('It works out as 68 postcards a day. Just think of it as a busy holiday,' pleads Phil). John McKay's jaunty piece about deadline-itis is full of good one-liners, wittily performed by McKay himself as the downbeat writer and Forbes Masson as the wilful creative streak he cannot control.
Assembly Rooms, 54 George Street (venue 3), 031 226-2428. 8pm. To 5 Sept (not 24, 31 Aug).
