Calling for writers !! We need YOU for future live events !!

[Lorraine]

Right, I'm closing the list now. Thanks everyone. I'm going to work out how to go on about it, and will get back to you asap.

[Patti (baconater)]

I'll lock this thread while Lorraine looks things over.

You rock Lorraine!

[Patti (baconater)]

Now open again.

[Lorraine]

Right, our first volunteer is Stuart Ayris !!

Apologies to the other writers, at a rate of one every 6 weeks or so, it might be a few months before your event is planned, but that gives you plenty of time to interact with us even more ! The key to a successful live event is plenty of members who have read your books and come up with lots of questions. So get posting ! :)

Stu, I'll email you ASAP x

[Russell]

Although I'm extremely busy, I don't mind doing this in order to connect with current and future readers/fans. Here are my books below.

[Lorraine]

Hi Russell
Thanks, I've got a long list at the moment so I'm not taking on any more, but I'll keep you in mind when we need another batch of writers. No need to wait until then to connect with us, though :)

[Russell]

Please send me an IM when you're free. Thanks.

[Lorraine]

Ok... might be a while though, I have 24 people on the list, and we run one every month-couple of months, but we'll get there eventually !

[Russell]

no problem.

[Vernon]

Would love to do one of these, Lorraine.

[Lorraine]

Thanks Vernon... Got a few writers lined up already, will bear you in mind in the future x

[Tui]

I'm happy to do one of these. Would love to talk to some UK folk. Like to talk about my book Ripple and dolphins and whales in general.

[Lorraine]

Tui, I'll come back to this thread when I am done with the current list I have, might be a while, but I will get back to you when I go on my next recruiting mission :)

[Dougie]

I'd be up for this. I have a new book out (number 15!) which is the first novel I've ever released solely as an ebook so I'm very excited about it.

[J.B.]

Lorraine,
I would like to participate as well. Please let me know when you recruit again :).

[Lorraine]

Hi Dougie and JB

I have quite a few booked up for the next few months, I will keep you in mind. Now you're on the list (ahem thread ) :)
In the meantime, it's worth mingling with us bunch of lovely people. The key to a good live chat is members that know you... Then they can ask really complicated questions ;)

I'll get back to you in due time. Unfortunately there's only one live chat every 6 weeks or so, and there's a bit of a list... but we'll get to you :)

[Marc]

Lorraine, do you have a date for Rosen's yet?

Thanks

marc x

[Lorraine]

No Marc, sorry, not yet. But it will be some time in January :) And I'm sorting out your Q&A this weekend, just need to get that file out of the way :)

Will do my best but I'm promoting one book and working on another at the mo!

I need a clone or two...

[Lorraine]

I know the feeling Dougie :) Best of luck with the promoting and the writing :)

[R.M.F.]

I would be interested in doing one as well, but I get the feeling that the virtual version of one man and his dog turning up will be the outcome.

[Lorraine]

Well, the events don't attract masses, but then we like it nice, friendly and cosy :) You've got plenty of time to make yourself known by the forum members RMF, either through your own thread or via the general chat threads, and the games threads :)

Good advice.

[[deleted user]]

Hi Lorraine! I'd be interested if you have a slot for someone who isn't a household name.

[Lorraine]

Hi Serena, and thanks
You don't need to be a household name, however you need to be known by the group, so that us members can ask you questions. Make yourself known via your own author thread, and by taking part in the general chat posts as well, so we get to know you. We're all very friendly :)
Have a nice weekend :)

I'm well liked on these posts. I've had private messages from people on this forum who said they wished they were me! :)

On a serious note, I'm declaring my interest.

[Lorraine]

Thanks RMF :)

[Lance]

If Commonwealth membership isn't necessary, I'm game. Maybe RMF's guy and his dog will show up for mine, too.

[Lorraine]

Sure Lance :)

And no, we don't discriminate where you come from (despite the title)... words have no frontiers !

[Lisa]

Lisa Gordon

Would love to take part - very flexible in terms of time!

[Lorraine]

Thanks Lisa, there is a long list now, but your name is down. It's going to be a while, but that will give you time to interact with us and make yourself known. Enjoy the forum :)
