Sunday 19th July

The Young Adult Literature Convention, Olympia, Hammersmith Road, London W14 8UX

2.30PM – Writing for Stage and Screen with Joe Abercrombie

3.15PM – Book Signing at YALC

Early hardcover copies of Half a War will, of course, be available at all these events along with all my other books.  I’ll also be appearing at the YA Lit. Con at London Film and Comic Con, but I’m not sure yet exactly when.  When we do know there may also be an extra event or two, we shall see…

Lunchtime events tend to be signings of a queue up and get your book signed variety, evening events tend to be ticketed and follow a short talk, reading, Q&A style format, followed by signing.  It would be only good manners to buy something from the store that’s hosting, but if you bring other books of mine to sign I’ll do my very best to oblige you. If you bring a lot of books (typically meaning you’re a dealer and are going to sell them) or have extravagant requests above and beyond simple signing and dedication, you might have to join the back of the queue and wait for the end.  We are somewhat at the mercy of the various shops’ staffing policies, so can’t absolutely promise to get to everything, but we certainly will try.
