Has anyone been to the London Book Fair before, or has been today, or is going tomorrow?!
I am going tomorrow and was hoping for a few tips/hints to make the most of it :)
Thanks

Thanks Jimmy and Dor, I had already read up on book fair 'etiquette' and knew not to pitch to anyone. However, I did get to meet a few of the publishers that I've submitted to and introduce myself. Hopefully I shall stick in their mind slightly?! Also, the 'Authors HQ' seminars were very informative. Definitely worthwhile going! :)
Then again, Elvis Costello was an unknown before he showed up with a guitar and a portable amplifier outside a hotel where record company executives were meeting. I believe he got arrested, but the rest (as they say) is History.
I've never been, but don't attempt to pitch your MS to agents or publishers. It's for them to hook with with each other, not for writers.
