Weds 2 Nov in Cambridge - book event

[Damini]

I don't know if any of you are in or around Cambridge, but if you are, I'm doing, well, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing, but whatever it is I'm doing it in Cambridge, in Heffers Book Shop, 20 Trinity Street, at 6.30 PM. It's a new authors evening, and so if any of you are, in the truest League of Gentlemen sense, local, it would be nice to say hello.

 

[Tom]

Well, I'd come but I live in Manchester

Good luck though. How are book sales in general?

 

[Shovel]

Arrgh damnit, I'm from Cambridge but in Manchester as well. That's a bugger.

FatBusinessman is local though, so he might come out if he's free.

 

[Chilly]

Oh sounds fun damini - I persuaded a mother of 3 to buy copies for her kids the other day

I'll expect my 2.7pence comission cheque in the post?

When's thenext one out anyway?

 

[Damini]

Next one is out in June. Sales for this one are going pretty well, but have slowed down a bit. Hopefully they will pick up at christmas.

Damini, might be worth pestering the book pages of the broadsheets, they always do magazines closer to Christmas about what stuff to buy. If your book gets a mention, you'll have thousands of Guardian readers rushing out to buy it, not to mention them recommending it to their tea-party friends over a coffee in their new extensions

 

[Damini]

I don't personally pester - I have a lovely lady at Hodder to do that for me I think it's notoriously difficult to get into the papers though with children's books. [cryptic]However, keep your eyes peeled: interesting news looms on the horizon.[/cryptic]

 

[inactionman]

Film/TV deal?

 

[Tom]

If there is, I hereby demand a position on the crew.

 

[Addlcove]

Strange you should say that... Read book two when it comes out for a rather subtle name drop.
