Alex and Friends Calendar

Just published on Lulu. It seemed an obvious way to gaze at Holly's wonderful illustrations all year.
Enjoy!

London Book Fair

After almost catching up with myself, and working out how to grab the photos from my new phone, I can now relate what a brilliant time I had at the LBF. The seminars are always worth the effort of finding where they are hidden. Notable this year were several seminars on childrens books including 'What Teens Really Want ' - so ask them: a bright idea by Penguin which you can check out at Spinebreakers. A very popular seminar was Digital Publishing: "Where is the Money". Concerns being raised for the future of publishing where everyone expects information for free.... and the Society of Young Publishers Canon Tales, fascinating snapshots from a wide variety of publishing people. It's also interesting to talk to so many different people at prearranged meetings, at their exhibition stands, and while queueing for coffee.
