It comes alive writing wise for a week every second year. They are thinking of making it every year but I am not sure that will work. To add insult to injury if we do the right thing and support our local indie it takes months and months to get books because of our publishing laws. Sigh....you really are at the very centre of the universe compared with us!

In these challenging times one would hope that publishers are doing a hell of a lot to support the Independents...where I firmly believe the future of bookselling lies. Very saddened by the "mostly schools and libraries" approach. Can't wait for the Louise Rennison and Moomins. Best publisher presentation I've ever been to was by Egmont - a quiz with a prize to wake us up followed by genuine enthusiam for the books due out. Oh and real filter coffee ;) Good summary and good points for publishers to take note of.
