Last weekend I had the exciting opportunity to attend my first literary festival in Sidmouth. It was amazing, I learnt loads and met some wonderfully talented authors.
One of my highlights was having a one to one with a literary agent about my novel 'A Woman's World.' She gave me amazing advice on what direction my book could go and she said "come back to me when you've finished your book," which is more than I could have hoped for.
I heard talks from published authors such as Kate Hamer and Jane Corry, I enjoyed a Bronte tea party with Juliet Barker and heard an inspiring talk form Dame Penelope Lively. But my favourite event from the weekend was Chic Lit and Chocolates with one of my favourite authors Veronica Henry. I got to meet her and bag myself a signed copy of her latest book, 'How to Find Love in a Bookshop.'

The whole weekend was an amazing experience. I walked away feeling motivated, inspired and excited for the next literary festival I'm able to attend.
Keep writing, keep chasing your dreams!
