Next weekend there's to be another great three-day Independent Book Fair in St Ann's Square Manchester, to coincide with the Manchester Festival. Independent publishers are coming from all over the country to display and sell their wares. The market runs from Friday 17th - Sunday 19th, 12 noon to 6pm each day, and in a special cafe area there will be author readings throughout, organized by enterprising Comma publisher Ra Page. A whole host of Manchester and North-West writers will be reading, including yours truly. Other writers I know of so far are: Joe Stretch, Tony Walsh, Julian Daniel, Mike Garry, Akiel Chinelo, Louise Wallwein, Conrad Williams, Ailsa Cox, Zoe Lambert, Eleanor Rees, Mike Duff, Tim Lees, Annie Clarkson, Segun Le French, Tom Fletcher, Lula Blue, Zoe Lambert, but I understand there are many more.
My own slot is at 3.30 pm on Sunday. Do come along and listen and browse (and buy!!). Last time, I remember, there was a wonderful buzz when I went along...
