As part of the Emerging Writers Expo, The Big Read market and fun day held at Rosebud Library will be on Saturday the 25th of August 2012 from 9:00am to 2:00pm.

I will be there as well as some members and other authors.  This is a great opportunity for readers not only to meet some very interesting and versatile authors and purchase signed copies, but to also engage in informal discussions about writing, publishing, editing, marketing and distribution of books.

The Big Read is a special free all-ages event presented at our libraries, which will offer a range of fun and inspiring activities to celebrate the National Year of Reading 2012.

It was a memorable afternoon at the Furlan Club in Thornbury when Luigi Campeotto’s biography was launched by Ivano Ercole from Rete Radio, and to help celebrate the event were some well-known names from the Italian media as well. The launch was well-attended and all the guests enjoyed Ivano’s thoroughly entertaining presentation of the book and Luigi’s beautiful CD’s being played in the background.  Several contacts with overseas Furlan clubs eventuated after this event. Many thanks to all those who attended and made it such a great success.
