Discussion point
Do you go to literary festivals, either as an author or reader? If you've got one coming up soon, please share the details.

Thanks Patsy. Afraid I won't be near Lee-on-the-solent today, much as I'd love to be visiting a book festival. Last one I was at was about 2 years ago in Wexford & after 2 days I came home with a stack of books & a good feel factor. Not much happening on the writing front, need to get down to it but my new puppy is absorbing every free moment. She's cute though.
Thanks for info and comps. Prima take the rights to their selected stories in their ongoing story competition.
I don't tend to go to literary festivals, as there usually isn't much on that interests me.
One in a nearby city was charging £5 for a 15 minute advice session about how to pitch your novel to publishers.
Sorry, but I think that's a rip- off. Anyone can find that info out for free. These sessions weren't given by authors.
Wel done to all with positive news.
Thank you for the comps. Might have a ggo at the Chrismas one - need to file away some words. I feel guilty I don't attend my local literary festival. I probably feel (wrongly) it's all for high literary types. I'm sure that's not true.
