Author talks

In recent weeks, I have conducted 'author talks' at three libraries: Rugby, Nuneaton and Warwick. I always start with the essentials relating to my publication journey but allow the audience to dictate where the conversation flows. The advantage is that no two author talks are the same, even I laugh at the varied scope of where the book chatter leads us.

After each ‘author talk’ the library asks for feedback, so I’m delighted to say I’ve received some gorgeous comments. Here are my favourite four:
 
‘Funny and very inspiring’
 
‘She doesn’t do the ‘buy my book, buy my book’ routine – which is refreshing.’
 
‘She involved the audience - she didn’t talk at us.’ 
 
‘I feel like I know her. That’s the best talk I’ve been to!’
 
If you’re interested in hosting an 'author talk’ be it for a book group, a writers’ group, book festival, a community event, conference or a library session – please email me for further details at [email protected]
