If starting a new job weren’t enough exciting news, I have more! Some of you may have seen it on Twitter and Facebook, but I haven’t mentioned it here yet.
I shall be appearing, with Elaine from Random Jottings, at the Felixstowe Book Festival 15-16 June 2013!
We’ll be nattering about book blogging – how we got involved, what it entails, anecdotes etc. Not entirely sure what we’re saying, but I imagine it’ll be fairly organic. Let’s face it, when Elaine and I get talking, we’re not worried that there will be long periods of silence. Hopefully the audience will be able to get a word in, for a Q&A!
If you live remotely near Suffolk, it would be lovely if you could come! Obviously we’re not the only event – the website is here, so have a browse through. I’d love to meet SiaB readers, so do come along and introduce yourselves. For more info, either see that website, or read what Elaine had to say about it all.
Simon, how exciting! If only I weren't going to Paris this year, I would be there like a shot. Make sure to get lots of pictures!
Sounds like a lot of fun!
Congratulations!! What a great gig!
Wish I could be there!
How wonderful! Felixstowe is only down the road from me and I didn't even realise there *was* a book festival! I will certainly attempt to come along and say hello!
What fun! wish I could come and hear you both.
Thrilling! I can't wait to hear all about it, and see photos.
We'd come to the festival if we lived in the UK! Everyone in my household knows your blog and we all congratulate you on your job at OUP.
You'll be brilliant together – I wish I lived in England!
I am behind the times, but congratulations on the job and have a fantastic time in Felixstowe – I'll come if I can, but won't make any promises just yet. I'm sure you and Elaine will be completely splendid, though!
That is great news Simon – hope it goes swimmingly!
Belatedly catching up with my feed reader but had to pop up to say congratulations and good luck!
Thanks so much, everyone!
wonderful sure you will be great ,all the best stu
