Prelude to a Reading
Sep. 27th, 2015 06:18 pmI’m one of 12 finalists attending tomorrow’s Creative Future Literary Awards ceremony in London.
Last night, I asked my boyfriend what it was like to perform on stage to an audience. I’ve never done it myself; the impending reading makes slightly nervous.
Over a year ago, he self-published a graphic novel with the help of Kickstarter (and tons of supportive friends and family.) He held the launch in a music venue in London, read on stage and even performed with a masked band and backing singers.
“Remember that they are all on your side,” he reassured me in the dark.
