Feedback about this event

We were 35 authors and everything went well. I met the public and professionals. My conversation about the fantastic novel met some success. I enjoyed working on this theme with Elisabet Guillot and Catherine Barcelonne and listened to readings of other authors. Thank you all.

Looking it from a different perspective

Saturday 11th, I went to a book fair organized at the gardens of plants in Saint Cyprien. It was a lovely place. This time, I took on the role of a reader to visit several authors and authors. This experience was very enlightening professionally and I thank them. Some have explained to me what is important for them in their writing and what they think about organizing a fair. I have listened carefully to them, and I have presented myself and our exchanges have been interesting.
This immersion as a reader brought me another perspective on the profession of writing. Meeting other artists is also a way to be ready for your own meetings / conferences and create opportunities for collaborations.
