At Wellington Festival 2014

October 5, 2014Events, NewsBook Fayre, Book Festival, Book Signings, Catherine Cooper, Wellington Literary FestivalElizabeth

I had a great day at the Wellington Literary Festival yesterday despite a disappointingly low number of visitors. I met some interesting poeple and made some useful contacts for the future and all those authors present managed to sell one or two books, myself included.

The venue at Wellington Library is wonderful, such a vibrant atmosphere and children’s author Catherine Cooper is to be congratulated on all the hard work she puts in to organising this event each year. You can learn more about Catherine Cooper and her books here.

With no new books to offer this year this is the only Book Fair/Festival that Silverburn Publishing has attended in 2014 although it is hoped that another small event may yet be fitted in before Christmas! Look out for something new next year.

World Book Day Report

The World Book Day Author’s Event in our local Library on Saturday 5th March was a great success with many people of all ages wandering down to visit us in the old Court Rooms at the Library. We all sold several copies of our books and enjoyed meeting the public. It was enouraging that so many young people were interested in meeting the writers and talked of their own love of writing. Some writers of the future here perhaps. It is hoped to hold a similar event later in the year – watch this space.
