….I know that Glastonbury festival is just around the corner, but today we’d like to help announce ABBA – the AWFULLY BIG BLOG ADVENTURE ONLINE LITERARY FESTIVAL, taking place 9-10 JULY 2011, right here.
The Awfully Big Blog Adventure is celebrating its 3rd Birthday with the FIRST EVER ONLINE LITERARY FESTIVAL(!) run entirely by children’s authors! And DFB’s Linda Newbery will be taking part, no doubt to celebrate the wonderful paperback of LOB, out last month.
On 9th and 10th July 2011, 40 (yes FORTY) children’s authors from the Scattered Authors’ Society - including Adele Geras, Mary Hoffman, Liz Kessler and Celia Rees - will be bringing you something new and special every half hour from 9.30am to 7.30pm.
There’ll be blogs, videos, giveaways, interviews and competitions, all involving these fantastic writers!
You can join the Facebook festival guest list here and follow@AwfullyBigBlog on Twitter for all the latest news.
Naturally, there will be virtual champagne and cake on the day, so why not join their fantastically fabulous literary party!
