Looks like The Book Show at Luton on the 22nd
that I mentioned in a previous post has been cancelled. Perhaps that £90 ticket price
was a bit too hefty?
A better bet should be The Word festival at Astley Hall in
Chorley, Lancashire this Saturday, 22nd September. Big draws include short story expert Clare
Massey and Kerry Wilkinson, the guy who sold so many books on Amazon (250,000 downloads
in six months) that he attracted a six-book deal from Macmillan. For many
writers, that’s a dream come true, so I’ll be going along to mingle and network
and also to find out the secret of his success – and report back for Fiction
Feedback.
I think there are just one or two tickets left (at a
reasonable £20, including lunch) if you want to join me.
