Details of the Friday mini-courses are here. (I'm running one with Emma Darwin on Finding Your Voice.)
The workshop schedule is here. (I have a slot on Saturday on Breaking the 'Rules'.)
Included in the fee is the opportunity to pitch your book directly to agents or have it diagnosed and treated in one-to-one Book Doctor sessions. See here. (I have 2 sessions on the Saturday (though one is now fully booked) and 3 on Sunday.)
On the Saturday evening there will be a gala dinner and another Authonomy Live event. Remember last year when Shelley Harris won? You can see Shelley's own account of how the Festival changed her life here.
The last Festival was so amazing, I thought it would be tough to come up with another winner, but this one is shaping up to be even better. I'm looking forward to renewing connections with people that I suspect are going to become regular attendees, as well as making new ones, all in the fabulous setting of York University.
Tickets are going fast but there are still some spaces left. I know it's a lot of money for many people but I can promise it will be worthwhile. You'll have a wonderful time, meet some inspiring people, get some incredibly useful personal feedback, learn new skills ... and ...
Who knows? You could be this year's Shelley.
Raid the piggy bank; beg, steal or borrow; do whatever it takes but, if you possibly can, get yourself along here and start the booking process.
Look forward to seeing you!

So wish I could go :-( but a big family party was already arranged for that weekend, and I can't miss it. I don't need to say 'have a good time' because I know you will.
Debi, don't you have a bar mitzvah to tell us about?
Ha! Yes, ma'am, I know, but you'll be pleased to hear I'm concentrating on whipping my WIP into some semblance of shape.
The Festival is here to stay, I'm sure, so there will be other opportunities. You would love it!
This is going on my 2012 list of things to do, but I'm looking forward to hearing all about it. I'm looking forward to hearing about the Bar Mitzvah too.
See? We're already talking about 2012!
Thanks a lot for a bunch of good tips. I look forward to reading more on the topic in the future. Keep up the good work! This blog is going to be great resource. Love reading it.
