Sadly, I find this type of event rather pretentious. Shame really, as there are opportunities to interest the masses in writing.
I've never been; all the people I've ever been interested in have been on at times I couldn't make it.
I dont find them pretentious-- or perhaps I am because I go. I enjoy hearing how the authors work, and realise that even though luck has a part in it especially with a well known family name-- anyone has a chance.Quote:

Regardless of whether or not I get published ever again-I really don't care . I'm half way through another, and really enjoy writing.Keeps me quiet (sometimes) and out of trouble also sometimes!!
