With bookshop chains reluctant to stock small imprints and publishers unable to provide a marketing boost, it’s up to many authors to create their own front windows. This can be done through online sales (either through major platforms or independently) but lots of us like to get out and about to local fairs and markets where we can literally set out our stall and talk to prospective customers face to face. Here’s where you can me between now and Christmas (oops, did I just say that?)


Usually I’m with other local authors like Jean Burnett, Heather Child, Heather Jo Reed, AA Abbott or Tim Kindberg, so there are plenty of books to choose from!
