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.
Topics mentioned: Secret writer Post-it notes Writing groups Isolation Graveyards Libraries Childhood Katie Fforde Romantic Novelists’ Association Publishers' cover designs Glitter Pupils and Sainsbury’s shelves Fountain pens & purple ink Narnia Cake London Writers’ Salon Classic books Doorsteps Critical/constructive feedback Topic of adoption/foundling Family names 1986 trends Piano Easter Eggs Agents Publishers Genetics Writing retreats Planning/plotting Lilac trees Seeds Post-it notes Isolation Agatha Christie Peacocks Cute cottages Shetland ponies Writing routine Writing process Stable beginnings/changing the ends Shakespeare/poetry Heroes Women Writers’ block Trains/London parties Emily Bronte Village ‘talk’ Village life Blended families Signed books National Novel Writing Month The generation of ideas Leap Year Competitions Debut nerves Memories Shifting time Retirement Future ideas Book titles 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]
