THE MAN WHO PUBLISHED JK ROWLING

The man who originally published JK Rowling talked about writing books for children at the Bath Kids Fest last night.

Accompanying the now legendary Barry Cunningham, onstage at the Guildhall, in the glare of the spotlight were Linda Strachan, author of 30 plus books and Chicken House authors Lucy Christopher and Rachel Ward.

I couldn’t miss the opportunity of being in the same room as such a distinguished luminary without making the most of it.

So after the event managed to corner him and hand over the first few chapters of Dr Rumbolo’s Travelling Freakarium.
Even if the great man tosses it into the recycling - can’t blame a girl for trying!
