Roll the drums. Open the curtains. Let's the party begin. The book on which I worked with Alanna Lynott and Anne Mortensen will hit the shelves on the 1st November and we are going to celebrate with a pre-launch party at Waterstone's Picadilly -London- on the 27th October from 6.30.
As Pebble Soup's readers are never far from my mind, I have saved you one complementary ticket. It will allow you free entry to the Champagne bar at Waterstone (inc. free drinks and canapes) You will be able to mingle with all who contributed to the book, most of the writers will be there minus these on holidays or on other life quest.
All you need to do is :
- Post a comment to tell us the title or the author of the latest book you have read.
You could double up your chances by joining Pebble Soup followers. Each follower's name will be entered separately.
Now, for these who have not been paying attention, yes, these reading quietly at the back of the blog, near the stove, not far from the food. Let me tell you what the book is about. Alanna and I set out to interview 30 contemporary authors, some are really famous, some are less so. We tried to cover as many genre as we could. We ask them about their writing life while Anne took black and white pictures. The aims was to collate as much advice as we could and the targeted audience was to be budding writers. It soon became apparent that the content of the interviews was much much more than that.
We are so proud of the end product. It is a beautiful book full of rather moving, enthralling testimonies about what it means to be a contemporary writer. Readers and/or writers will find that there is a lot of food for thought in this book. To read a little more about it drop by its website.
Some of the authors will be at the party. Good luck, I am looking forward to meet one of the readers and ah! the dead line has got to be rather tight so that I can post the ticket in plenty of time. Last entry Friday 22nd @12.00 GMT
