COUNTDOWN TO LAUNCH – 5 WEEKS TO GO
Down to five weeks. I honestly can’t believe it. The final approvals were made yesterday and the book is ready to go to print. To quote my daughter, “SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAL.”
I had amazing news this week – I’ve been invited to be an author at the 2015 Emirates Airline Festival of Literature. More SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEALS. It’s the best litfest in the world, and I can’t wait until next March. Hooray for Isobel, Yvette and the rest of the team for thinking of me.
Speaking of wonderful invitations, I hope you’ve received your invite to join my Facebook Launch Party. If not and you’d like to come, please yell. I’d love it if you could pop in (May 22nd, from noon if you’re in the UK and from 3 if you’re in the UAE) for all the cyber cake you can eat. If you know anyone who’s interested in kids’ books please invite them along too. The more the merrier – I can always hire a bigger facebook page, or put up a marquee out the back.
If you prefer things slightly more traditional, I’m sorting out the design for my post-launch monthly newsletter, which will feature book recommendations, games and event information, so if you’d like to receive it, please opt in HERE
That’s it for the blog today as I’m off to shoot a video interview with the fabulous Alice Potter (I was going to say ‘no relation to Harry’, but maybe she is because she is my friend and she is MAGIC). I’ll be uploading soon, providing I don’t think it will scare people. (#faceforradio).
All that’s left to say are this week’s thank yous. To Alice who is, as always, my hero and has been helping in every way possible despite being enormously up the duff. To Tatum Flynn, my comedy crit partner, who has been casting an insightful eye (can eyes be insightful? Probably not. Tatum would have spotted that) over Book 2. To Reem who is wise in the ways of Mailchimp (except when it comes to colour schemes) and to Giles who stepped in when our colour scheme went all 80s-funeral-mailer on us. To Jodie for being my #1 cheerleader despite bashing her ankle falling offthe wardrobe (don’t ask). And to the wonderful Susan, Nayu, Abi, Katie, Laura and Viv who have provisionally agreed to be part of my blogtour (more on that later).
ps. No, the cat isn’t relevant to anything - I just thought the picture was hilarious.
