LONDON BOOK FAIR 2009

Not long to go now! London Book Fair, or LBF to those in the know, is from 20-22 April at Earls Court.

A huge industry event where all the moving and shaking in the industry goes on... which means all the bars in the immediate area are 'wall to wall' for three days.

This year I chose not to take a publisher stand. At the moment I'm setting up meetings with overseas publishers to sell territorial rights (new fiction as well as non-fiction) and also setting up meetings with sales representatives and distributors. I'm looking to get these in place ahead of the 'Slimmer Charlie' release on 1 October and have already had some interesting conversations.

If anyone reading the blog would like to meet up at LBF, please feel free to drop me a line.
