News: Awfully Big Blog Adventure Online Literary Festival

A couple of days ago I wrote a post about a new blog called The History Girls and I mentioned that I had met a couple of its founding members at the Orion summer party. At that very same event I also met the lovely Lucy Coates and we had a brief chat about the forthcoming Online Literary Festival being organised my writers from the Scattered Authors' Society. I asked Lucy to email a copy of the press release as it sounded like a pretty exciting event for young book lovers. So, if couldn't make it to Hay this year, or there is no chance of getting up to Edinburgh then you best make sure you visit the Awfully Big Blog Adventure Online Literary Festival this coming weekend. And if you did go to Hay, and/or you are lucky enough to be able to get to Edinburgh then you obviously love books and I can't think of a better place for you to be this weekend then at your computer visiting this very special online event.
