The trip started bright and early on Tuesday morning with the 6.50 Easyjet to Bologna. I nearly missed the flight ending up with only 9 minutes to get from security to my gate. Note to self: don’t wear a metal buttoned shirt when flying!
After meeting Adam Stower and my agent Alison Eldred we hopped in a taxi and it was straight to the ‘Fiere’.
With over 1200 stands there was lots to see in the halls…
…and in the bookshop!
A meeting with Anne McNeil of Hachette Publishing to talk about two of my titles showcasing at the fair, ‘The Invincible Tony Spears’ and ‘Danny McGee Drinks the Sea’ which is written by Andy Stanton.
Alongside the publishers stands there were several exhibitions of artwork.
This piece from Emanuale Luzzati was included in the 50 years of childrens books exhibiton.
An exhibition of German books shows creative use of art tubes…
…and finally back the following morning on the 11am flight– before heading back to the studio with a head buzzing with ideas!
