Blog Relations

Matthew and I are in Bologna for the children’s book fair. Last week I briefly visited the London Book Fair and was overwhelmed by the enormity of it. Bologna is more friendly, and the publishers are really interested in the Storynory concept. They are looking for an internet component to their books, because this is what children expect these days. There are some clever people here who are thinking about putting together packages – and we do bring an interesting offering to the table. Anyway, no brush offs so far, and a feeling that our proposition in timely and along the right lines. You can hear their minds ticking – how can we add audio downloads into this particular concept? Some have come up with some great suggestions – we just have to see if they will come to fruition.

I’m glad to say that Blog Relations / Storynory is really quite busy at the moment. In fact, at times I don’t know if I am coming or going, and I’m not sure which country I’m in. I don’t know if it’s just that we have been around a bit longer now, or if it’s because blogs and podcasts are coming of age – all I can say is that there is a lot more work for us than there was a year ago, and the conversations with people are a lot easier.
