I spent all day yesterday at the bookfair in Frankfurt. What an amazing event. It’s been several years now since I last visited it and couldn’t remember the excitement, the expectant atmosphere. Or maybe it was different this time because I had an appointment with an agent who wants to sign me up. Entering the LitAg hall requires that you have set up a meeting. Agents are the only breed at the book fair that you can’t just walk up to.
I can’t help starting to believe in signs. At the train station in Frankfurt, I got talking with an author writing about globalization and other economic and management related topics. Just before the meeting with my prospective agent, I met a guy from the USA working for a publisher in India and living there now for many years. Then my Indian agent tells me she managed to create some interest in Found Guilty and Ruta 5. Will have to wait and see if her efforts lead to a publishing contract or two, but I’m excited.
