Point of View: What I Learned (So Far) From Building a Book Festival
I thought I’d share some of the things I’ve learned in the run-up to the festival. Next week, I’ll share what we figured out from the day of the event itself.
Day off, appointments kept, now walk to Cloisters and my @cymerafestival event reading (the trusty notebook, a festival veteran, is out too, of course). Three books to read, questions to think up...
I'll be chairing here at Cymera in June https://www.cymerafestival.co.uk/2025-tickets/home-sweet-home
Paisley Book Festival
25–27 April
Speaking to writers who have big ideas about navigating the most fundamental questions we face, & who embrace the opportunities they present, the 2025 Paisley Book Festival invites authors & audiences to consider The Lives We Live.
Yeah, I'm just a tiny bit excited -- okay, maybe I'm bouncing off the walls. Come check out my panel at the Tucson Festival of Books on March 15; I'll be signing copies of my Sean Colbeth mystery, Vengeance, at the Indie Author Pavilion from 10-12:30ish and then immediately after the session. (Did I mention I was excited?) #Indieauthor #Writing #BookFestival #TFOB #Mystery #TucsonFestivalOfBooks
