So I'm doing the Big Book Draw for the Book Fest but, for some reason, I'm the world's worst self marketer. Dunno why, just when I start doing stuff I forget to mention books or me or anything really and get into the arty moment. For example last week I worked with 120 kids and didn't mention the books once. Sorry, publishers. There are times when I do stick on message of course, I just have to be physically reminded beforehand because it's not the first thing that springs to mind.
Anyhow, partially because of that I asked the publisher of my next book, Highland, if they would pay for an ad in the Book Fest brochure and they said yes, which is lovely of them, and that I could put all of the book covers on the ad. So, here we go. Any comments? I want it to appeal to people but, apart from knowing what appeals to me I'd be interested in what people other than me think :)
Poss goes to print next week, dunno the dates yet. I bet I get a call tonight to say tomorrow morning or something and have to dash around to finish it off...
