Can't believe it has been 3 years already since the reopening of the refurbished Wardown House Museum and Gallery in Luton! I was honoured to have been involved in the promotional activity for this and attend the VIP preview and public opening. Huge effort from the Culture Trust team and Museum Makers made this possible. When it reopens after the pandemic make a visit! Photo credit: Aleksandra Warchol

I love the creativity coming out at the moment ...

The creators of the Gruffalo have produced a series of cartoons to encourage people to stay at home during the coronavirus crisis

I've had the privilege to work with some amazing and inspiring people on a book festival lately. Unfortunately it has to be postponed for the moment but we'll still be working in the background to rearrange another date soon.

It is with huge sadness and disappointment that, in light of the current situation, we have had to make the hard decision to postpone the Brown Books Book Festival in Luton.

We are working with the venue, authors and illustrators to reschedule the event and we will be proving details as soon as we have new arrangements in place.

We wanted to let everybody know as soon as possible.

We also wanted to extend our gratitude to everyone who has shown such enthusiasm for the festival so far.

The intention was that Brown Books would go live as an online bookshop this month. But again, given the situation we have decided to delay this also.

Plans are still in place and when things improve, they will go ahead.

In the meantime, the work around setting up the community interest company, Luton Literature - the arm of Brown Books that will deliver the Brown Books Book Festival and many other projects - will continue in the background.

Please give the Luton Literature page a like, if you haven't already.

Stay healthy and safe. We can get through this.

I know there's a real drive to make everything about your business online these days, however, I still think there's a strong place for well designed and professionally printed material; and it's one of my favourite areas of the marketing mix. We all have a geek-streak of one kind or another, and PRINT is one of mine! If you're not sure where to get started, here's a handy guide from online printer solopress:

Flyers and leaflets are an affordable way to promote events, products and services. Here's our comprehensive guide to flyers and leaflets.

A rare post - a photo of me! Well, that's me on the left - meeting lots of new business ladies yesterday at the Athena Network.

Sometimes I need to push myself out of my comfort zone and do something different. Today I attended my first networking event as a freelancer. They were very welcoming and supportive, and I've made some great connections already with other women in business.
