Huge thanks to everybody who came to, took part in, bought books at, posted about and bought tickets for Edge-Lit this past weekend. I was obviously running around like a headless chicken the entire day so have no idea how it went, but the feedback seems genuinely positive! Thank you for being part of a labour of love that sometimes makes me want to tear my hair out, but in the end gives me warm and fuzzies inside. Keep an eye on this space for future news about Edge-Lit 11!
