Success Story back to York for Literature Festival
Tricia Walker returned
to the place where she sold the first copies of her self-published tale as part
of York Literature Festival in March.
Tricia launched Benedict’s
Brother at Borders Bookstore in York last year, and it turned out to be the most any of their UK
stores sold on a launch night for an unknown author. She returned to the
store as part of York Literature Festival which also featured authors such as
Joanne Harris, Tracy Chevalier and GP Taylor.
She hosted a panel workshop on the Art of Self-Publishing alongside York writer Christian
Vassie, at the bookshop in Davygate, York, on 15th March 2008. More than 80 budding writers and eager listeners discussed with Tricia the benefits and pitfalls of self-publishing.
Benedict’s Brother chosen ‘Book of the Year’
Benedict’s Brother has been selected by Roger Tagholm, deputy
editor of Publishing News, as one of his 3 Books of the Year,
alongside Ian McEwan’s best-selling On Chesil Beach and Costa
Book Award winner What Was Lost by Catherine O’Flynn.
Tagholm said it was ‘a touching novel about a woman journeying to the famous Bridge On the River Kwai to scatter her uncle’s ashes. For the service, a line of Buddhist monks fans out across the famous bridge, like a saffron-robed sunset.’
Other Events
Tricia will also be appearing at:
Pride Literary Festival in London, June 2008.
