This is a monthly event for a small group of local authors, but is open to anyone who is already published, is working on a book, or has aspirations to write. The meeting has a social aspect, but also provides an opportunity to discuss a range of issues that might affect an author, from putting pen to paper to publishing and marketing. The group also work together to generate opportunities to promote their work, including arranging talks and attendance at literary events. Meetings currently start at 10:30am on the first Wednesday of each month at The Glasshouse, Retford, Notts.

If you’re interested in coming along, feel free to contact me.

Book Festivals are important. They serve a variety of purposes, from presenting opportunities for readers to meet favourite authors – and discover new ones – to boosting the local economy.

Newark Book Festival is in its seventh year and has grown from covering a weekend to a four-day event – with ancillary, pop-up events spread more widely around the district. For more information about the Festival as a whole, check out the website. For the Festival Programme, check here.

Graeme is volunteering at the Book Festival this year, and will be around each day of the event, as well as accompanying the Retford Authors Group on their stall in the Festival Market on the Saturday and Sunday.

On the afternoon of 7th July, Graeme will be assisting at the Festival Bookstall in Newark Town Hall. Otherwise, you might just catch him drifting around taking in the atmosphere.

If you specifically want to meet up, you can contact Graeme via Twitter or Facebook.

On the morning of 9th July, Graeme will be assisting with an Agatha Christie-themed panel in Newark Town Hall. He won’t be on the panel, so come along and see authors Elly Griffiths, Martin Edwards and Lesley Thomson. You can catch Graeme afterwards either drifting around taking in the atmosphere, or on the Retford Authors Group stall in the Festival Market.

The Harrogate Crime Festival is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) events in the calendar for those serious about crime fiction. Readers, authors, publishers and anyone else with a vague link to this genre tend to show up. With guest speakers that have included the greats – James Patterson, Lee Child, Ian Rankin, Harlan Coben are only a handful of the high profile authors who’ve appeared in recent years – and a range of other events across the four days, this festival is a must for crime fans.

In spite of not having published any crime fiction yet, Graeme is a big fan and expects to put that right before too long. Specific dates have yet to be confirmed, but Graeme will be in attendance over at least two days during the festival, and is looking forward to catching up with old friends and hoping to make new ones.
