I am very happy to announce that I will be speaking at the 2008 Emerging Writers Festival in early May.
The program isn’t finalised yet, but I will post a link as soon as it is available (April 10th). At the moment I am pencilled in to be first session on Sunday 11th. It will be held at Melbourne Town Hall.
I have been asked to speak about my book, how and why I have chosen to self-publish and in what way(s) blogging may help with promoting, marketing, and selling of the project (and me, too, I guess.)
Come along if you’re interested – I’d love to meet you!

Look what arrived from the printers in Singapore yesterday! The book dummy!
(“Book Dummy” meaning a mocked-up version of the completed task, sans pictures and words, obviously)
I’m glad I insisted on it, because there are features I still want tweaked and modified. On the whole, though, there was a lot of squealing. Then the kids joined in.
Then I went back to bed.

Congrats on getting to go. As Melbourne is a long way from England, I can’t go. Wish I could, though.

I have to admit when I saw “The book dummy,” I instantly scanned it as “The book, dummy!” LOL
