Derby QUAD - EDGE-LIT 7


I'll be running Edge-Lit's first Welcome Event on the day so if you're there, come say hi.

 

[Abernovo]

Have a wonderful time. I've always heard good reports from Edge-Lit. Unfortunately, I'm unable to attend. Maybe next year.

Some great authors listed, too. Anna Smith-Spark, and Jen Williams, in particular, really hold the attention when they speak. You'll be great running the Welcome Event.

Thanks Abernovo,
Edge-Lit has never disappointed. It's unlike any of the other UK cons I've been to.

 

[Stephen Palmer]

I can't go this year, it's the first day of my summer holiday and I have family things to do. (I think the same thing happened last year, alas.)

 

[ASleepyGiraffe]

Well I've just bought a ticket so I guess I'm going. Looking forward to it.
