London Book Fair

tirial, I wish you all the best, good luck, and I am jealous as it is far too far for me to travel. Do you have any meetings planned?

 

Back from work, so I have the rest of the evening to get ready. I've got an A5 booklet mostly done to take along and some of last year's business cards. It is a little awkward because some of the places I need to talk to for bookangel are also ones I need to speak to for work. I've dropped a note to Kobo so should be seeing them tomorrow. Fingers crossed for a good result.

I'm knackered just thinking about it.

 

I'm home, I am knackered, and I have many business cards. No luck with Kobo, but D2D might be interested. I'll send you details @Bookangel & we can all discuss it tonight.

I may be going back tomorrow, depending on whether we can get more business cards etc.

 

So how big was the London Book Fair and were the any famous authors around?

 

I know this maybe a little late, but I used to work for the organisers of the London Book Fair and the PR company that handles the publicity.

The best thing to do is to have a good press kit. You can add things there free of charge in the press room (I used to run it) and check daily to put your items in a good place. Make friends with the staff there and they can help you with contacts.

It's worth also doing a free talk as there are many conferences there (again, I have managed some) and there are smaller ones on stands which can work well as long as the timing is right.
