🪩 Edinburgh Culture Minute: 10 - 16 April 2024
'Accommodation prices an absolute joke': what the Fringe is doing to help priced-out performers + book fest seeks hospital stories + how to get an entry-level job in film + a 5km book launch in Porty
Welcome to the 41st edition of the Culture Minute, a weekly round-up of Edinburgh’s local creative news, events, jobs and opportunities. It exists thanks to the support of paying subscribers. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

🗳️ What do you want to see more of in The Edinburgh Culture Minute? I’ve had to cut out the listings this week to make space for a lot of interesting local creatives’ news that was sent in. But I did get feedback that the weekly venue listings were useful (mainly because listings sites, like many news sites, are terrible user-experiences). But even with the listings cut out, the newsletter is too long for most email inboxes. So please vote to let me know:
⮑ If ‘both’ wins, that’s fine but I’ll have to squeeze in less of each! If ‘listings’ gets a huge majority, I’ll consider sending them in a handy stand-alone additional email. Another option is for me to move the listings to Friday’s weekend guide, which you get as a paying subscriber as well. Either way, please vote so I know what you want more of, or feel free to comment below to tell me what to leave out. Give me the savage criticism I need so I can make this optimal for you! Thanks.
