Many thanks to everyone who said hello, congratulations or whats-a-blog? on Saturday. It was exciting to see so many unfamiliar faces – and potential bestselling story makers. The conference was interesting – jam packed with home truths about book-selling, marketing (don’t look like a geography teacher!) and more. If you still want to write after hearing some of the horror stories then you’re gonna be fine.

If, like me, you’re hopeless at taking notes then check out the cb info site for notes from Oisín McGann and Sarah Webb. Most of the day was caught on film too, so those golden nuggets of wisdom will hopefully make it online in video form too.

Thanks to CBI and SCWBI for putting it all together and to the gang from Kildare Library book club who stole the show!
