Calling all readers - what would tempt you?

[charlie_cochrane]

Specifically, what would tempt you to attend an authors/publishers/whatever event. Tips for wannabee authors? Chances to meet writers you like? Something totally different? Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you - all points really good and duly noted.

The chance to meet established authors and publishers. Lots of research ideas. Plus talks by authors and Q & A afterwards.
And tips and advice for beginner writers. And maybe a reading or two from new writers so we can receive some feedback.

Thanks for those ideas, Grace. I particularly like the last one - would you see that happening in a group or one to one?

Readings etc

Hi Charlie,
Glad you liked suggestions. To answer your question, I think it all depends on the individual and what they feel easiest with. Some do feel easier on a one to one basis and others positively love an audience. I had to quell my stage fright giving presentations at uni so I got used to it. Lol.
But maybe there could be a choice and the brave amongst us could do groups and those who wish could do one to one.

Hope that's ok

Having trouble unscreening your other comment so replying here. Will pass on the idea ref readings to the planning team for the next UK meet - we're getting together tomorrow so it'll be fresh in my brain!

UK meet.
