Book Bloggers Event at Simon and Schuster UK

I recently attended an event for book bloggers at Simon & Schuster publishers in London. This was a wonderful opportunity to meet four authors, hear them discuss their work and aspects of writing, and to meet members of the Simon & Schuster team and find out about forthcoming new releases from them.

I'd like to say a huge thank you to the S&S team and the authors for this event and for getting book bloggers involved in this way again.

I personally love listening to authors talking about their work, their writing process, the research involved, and the route to getting published, so this event was wonderful. It is also great to get the opportunity to visit a publishing house and meet some of the staff behind the scenes of all these wonderful books. Further, it was a super opportunity to put faces to names of some of the other book bloggers out there, and to discover some new blogs.

I'd also like to highlight the books by the authors who were present there, and also highlight a few upcoming releases that caught my eye.

Have you heard of any of these? Is there anything here that you think you'd like to read?

Simon and Schuster Bloggers Event

This week I was lucky enough to attend an event for book bloggers at Simon and Schuster publishers in London, where we met four authors (three of them debut novelists) and we were able to submit questions for them to be asked, hear their answers to these, and then chat with them afterwards and receive a copy of their novels to take home and read. This is the first time I've been to such an event, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was wonderful listening to the authors speak, to hear a little about how they write, their thoughts about writing, and great to have the opportunity to chat to them afterwards. I am looking forward to reading the novels very much indeed. It was lovely to meet some fellow book bloggers too! Additionally it was great visiting a publishers premises, being surrounded by wonderful books, and meeting some of the team working there to bring all these books to us. Thank you very much to them all for this event.
