Call for applicants to the Llandeilo Christmas Book Fair

The First Llandeilo Book Fair last weekend has been such a great success that I have succumbed to the pressure of organising another one, and to doing so sooner, rather than waiting for another year.13119740_1091090187580860_3565965637614321087_o
So the date booked at the Civic Hall is Saturday 10th of December. 
I have already more authors interested than I can accommodate – even if we ‘double up’ on some of the tables – and I might have to make some tough decisions in that respect.13131097_775001345934774_6365350776596955595_o (1)
If you are an author and want to participate, please email me with the following details:
Your author name, 
your location,
