Thanks so much for the film. For someone who's never been to a book fair, it's very interesting to see the set-up.

It might be more interesting if one could just purrowl around and exchange the occasional eloquent word with interesting looking people about even more interesting looking books but would I be brave enough? Sadly I suspect the answer is no.

I was hoping to see some dancing on tables at least! <br /><br />Thanks for this fascinating insight. I once read somewhere that authors shouldn't go to trade book fairs, which struck me as completely daft as without authors, there'd be no books for anyone to sell! Glad you had such a splendid time.Kit Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747077148847756149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-32770652935225896032012-03-29T08:31:56.935+01:002012-03-29T08:31:56.935+01:00I don't think we need to justify the things we...I don't think we need to justify the things we do as writers by some 'business' criteria. Sometimes the buzz of doing something that makes you feel good, part of a community, gives you a sense of your own worth is enough. A writer's well being is made up of many things but a major thing is self esteem. No writer can write a brilliant book if they're not feeling good about what they do and who they are. FRom that point of view a trip to Bologna is completely understandable. You're worth it!Anne Cassidynoreply@blogger.com
