Amazon KDP event in Musselburgh – pics!

Some more pics from the Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing event I was part of last Thursday in Musselburgh. It was an interesting day! I wasn’t on until 11am so I left my house at about 9:30 and drove down, getting there just in time as I struggled to find the right door and a parking space. Eventually I found it but the gate was locked and no one was around to let me in. That’s when I started to panic but luckily for me a teacher at the adjoining school just happened to walk past and heard my panicked thumping on the gate! Didn’t help that I was bursting for the toilet but all was well in the end and I was setup with my headset mic in time for my panel to get underway.

It’s always great to do these, get up on a stage in front of an audience instead of sitting alone writing by myself all day! The others on the panel, Harriet Smart and JD Kirk were really easy to talk to, especially since I’ve done events with them in the past. Also huge thanks to ALLi and Margaret Skea, and the KDP staff who couldn’t be nicer and always make things relaxed. If you’d like to hear more chat about similar topics as we covered at the event, check out the RPS interview we did with UK KDP head Darren Hardy – https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/ITOQgpiD3Fb

Next up for me is the Historical Novel Society HNS UK 2024 Conference where Rock, Paper, Swords will be covering the event. Bernard Cornwell, Diana Gabaldon, Elizabeth Chadwick, and one of my favourite RPS guests EVER, David Gilman, will all be there so it should be amazing!
