Jennifer Donnelly

Another (rather old) review from the Bath Children's Literature :)

Here we go again!.... Another talk; another fab author; and another day at the incredible Lit Fest.But, this is no normal day… no, this is the final day! And the event that I'm going to see?….Closing event of the festival! And the woman ending this whole thing with a bang?! None other than the award winning Jennifer Donnelly telling us all about her fantastic series, and in particular her new book, 'The Waterfire Saga – Dark Tide'.

She reeled us into her incredible tale (pun intended) - of mermaids and deep blue of the sea.We were taught how to contact our characters and their personalities, begin the creative process, and even combat writers block.We became acquainted with her incredible methods of characterisation and the journey which led to her creating the Waterfire Saga.And she, just like the Children's Festival itself turned out to be just another fantastic event loved by all!

I think all that is left to say is bravo. A big round to the lit fest and all the fabulous authors that inspired, awed and engaged the audiences that have flocked from far and wide to view the incredible talent showcased.Just when you thought it couldn't get any better... Wham!There it was and I am incredibly grateful I got a chance to be a part of it! I don't know about you, but I'm already counting down the days until next year!……..Eat your heart out Glasto, I've got my eyes on this festival.BANG
