Blue Ridge Bookfest In Flat Rock, NC Connects Authors and Readers

On May 20th and 21st, Conversations Magazine contributor and children's book author M. Beatryce Shaw attended the Blue Ridge Bookfest in Flat Rock, NC.

Here is the report of her amazing experience:

"How many festivals, workshops, book signings, etc. does one have to attend to be knowledgeable? I’m somewhat an “old hat” at such by now. I think they all offer a special flavor to the literary marketing stew. Blue Ridge Bookfest in Flat Rock, NC is relatively new, but truly enjoyable. Every conceivable effort was made to facilitate interaction between authors and readers. I especially appreciated the author’s lounge and generous display areas.

"The trip itself was amazing. I thought several times about the cost of gas but beautiful weather and miles and miles of unspoiled scenery quickly dismissed negative vibes.

"Time flies when you’re having fun. Two days went very quickly. The program was well planned and executed. I look forward to visiting again."

M. Beatryce Shaw is the creator of the Mr. Browne's children's book series discussing the diversity that exist throughout the world. To find out more information about Beatryce and her books visit her website www.schoonerpublications.com.
