I went to the London Book Fair recently and I was not sure what to expect when I got there. I knew little if nothing about the book fair before going to it and was not aware of how well it is known internationally. I went with the an open mind and just wanted to go to experience it and to know what would be expected of me if I was to go again.
It was interesting to have a walk around and have a look at all the different stands and to look at what different publishers had to offer but I did feel a bit bewildered and really wasn't sure how to approach people.
Whilst there, I went to a talk and four people from Scholastic gave a talk about what their position was within the company and what they were looking for in peoples portfolios. I thought that this was a brilliant opportunity for people to show their work and potentially have the opportunity to work in such as prominent and well know company.
