Thank you for your comment and for ‘Liking’ this – my first since I revamped my website and blog! I think at your talk I was the only one left with my hand in the air when asked who had self published and was happy with it! It’s early days but so far so good! I just wish there were more hours in the day….

Thanks for sharing your take on the talk, Georgia – those festival stewards were lovely, weren’t they? – and such a beautiful venue! It was great to meet so many authors, and to be able to meet you in person and have a quick chat afterwards too. I hope you enjoy my “Sell Your Books!” and best of luck with your books too. I agree with you that, as an indie author, anything is possible! I think this is a golden age in which to be an author – not necessarily in terms of revenue, but definitely in terms of potential to publish books and reach readers.

In reply to Diane Mannion. That is the problem with holidays, they are great whilst you are on them but unless you are careful you can get weighed down again with what's waiting for you on your return! It sounds like you are coming to the end of your really busy time anyway so hopefully you will then still be strong with the holiday spirit and ready to write! I wish you all the best with the book and look forward to hearing all about it.

We definitely will. I’m feeling more refreshed and positive but I’ve come back to lots of client work. However, at least the house renovations are only a couple of weeks off completion so it should give me more time once that’s done. 🙂

In reply to Diane Mannion. We'll have to see if we can organise it nearer the time then. It's good to see you back. I hope you've had a restful holiday and are fit and ready to finish off your novel.

That sounds like a great idea Georgia. It would be lovely to meet you. I hope it doesn’t coincide with my holidays next year so that I can make it. 🙂

In reply to Diane Mannion. Well I am planning on going to the London Book Fair next year, I was really envious seeing the photos and feedback of the great time everyone had there this time. Probably just for one day but if you can make it as well we can meet up!

I’m glad you found Cambridge Literary Festival a good experience Georgia. I wish we had one in Manchester but sadly we don’t. I think I may have to push the boat out and make the trip to the London one at some point in the future. It sounds like a great experience especially now independent authors have a presence there. 🙂
