Caerleon Literary Weekend
Meet The Authors
I'm going to the Caerleon Lit Fest on July 7th 2012, to attend an author talk by legendary Horror and Dark Fantasy writer Tim Lebbon. Tim is New York Times bestselling writer, and he's from South Wales. He has won 4 British fantasy awards, a Bram Stoker Award, a Scribe Award and has been a finalist for International Horror Guild, Shirley Jackson, and World Fantasy Awards.
As a writer, I'm always ready to learn about how other author's do their thing. It will be really cool as well to maybe have a chat with him afterwards. Also on the bill is Catherine Fisher, she's the first ever Young People's Laureate for Wales, a Fellow of the Welsh Academy and probably Wales' best known children's writer. An international bestseller, her Oracle Trinity was translated into twenty languages.
Festivals are a great way to see your favourite stars, and get a signed book too. If you ever get a chance to meet the author you've been following, grab it with both hands. I've met various writers in my career such as R J Ellory, Ali Sparkes, Darren Shan and Catrin Collier to name but a few.
