I've been meaning to publicise this for weeks and have only just got around to it!
UK Meet is an exciting event which is happening on the 23rd July for readers and writers of m/m romance - or even GLBT fiction for those who don't want to solely have the 'romance' label applied to them. There are lots of British authors going and a few of us readers - including me! It will be great to put names to faces and meet some of my favourite British m/m authors and especially the bloggers such as EH and LesleyW who I know will be there too. What fun!
Anyway, if you are a British (or even N European) reader and haven't heard of the event, which is taking place in Milton Keynes, then you can go to the website HERE to find out more and to see the list of some of the authors who will be there - I should say, the list is incomplete as there are about 40 people going (I think). I'm booked into the conference hotel for the Friday and Saturday night (big hugs for my Mum who is having the kids for me) so I shall have plenty of time to chat with people and attempt to drink Clare London under the table (again) :).
It should be a great day and I'm really looking forward to going.
Drat! This was meant to be tomorrow's post but I forgot to set the schedule button. Oh well, you can have it a day early instead :).
ReplyDeleteWell crap. LOL We'll have to post about this at the end of our Fortnight now that we're getting everyone stirred up about the great Brit authors out there. :-) That would be a super event.
ReplyDeleteSeems like you're expecting rain though. I suppose that's a given in England in July. :-P
That's what I thought too when I saw the logo, Tam.
ReplyDeleteYes, we should do a post about it on BER. Many of the authors we've featured during the fortnight will be there.
Sounds like it will be a fun gathering.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to it Jen..
ReplyDeleteI was chuffed that it will be taking place in Milton Keynes - not so far from me...
Pepsi on the rocks for me... Dont smoke, dont drink - but I am good for a laugh...
See you there..
:)
*mwahaha*
ReplyDeleteWhat a cruel comment on my lush-ability ... and how true :). Having a drink with you Jen, was one of the nicest evenings out I've had for ages - and BTW, the journey home on the night bus has also given me some material for my latest story LOL.
I'm quite tempted now to come up on the Fri as well, though I wouldn't want to butt in. I'll have to check on the family's plans.
Chris: I think it's going to be really good :).
ReplyDeleteEH: Milton Keynes isn't as great for me as the Leeds train line runs East Coast and Milton Keynes is on the West Coast to London line. I have to go through Manchester which makes it about the same time on the train as it is to drive. Ah well, I hate driving long distances so the train it is. Looking forward to having a drink with you, even if my Pepsi has vodka in it :).
Clare: We had fun, didn't we? And you made it home eventually :).
You wouldn't be butting in if you came on the Friday! There's quite a few of us long distance people staying for the two nights and it would be great to see you there too :).
