Come See Me At The Decatur Book Festival

The Decatur Book Festival is the largest independent book festival in the country. My first visit was in 2012 and I had a really good time. I had just released Reflections On A Middle-Aged Fat Woman and it was my first opportunity to present the book to the public. This time around things will be a little different. I will be in the Atlanta Writer's Club tent which is booths 112-113 on Saturday, September 5, 2015 from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm. You might see me floating around but that will be the only opportunity to pick up one of my books. Here is the link to the Decatur Book Festival so you can get all the specifics. See you there!

And Now Introducing.....

Me! Since making my first official public appearance as a published author at the Decatur Book Festival I thought I would provide a few snapshots of the festive occasion. Cooling off before the book signing. Check out my name; third from the bottom on the left. A good crowd checking out all the books. Looking out from the Emerging Authors tent. Meeting fellow authors. Someone checking out my book. A break in the crowd. Talking with an avid book reader. More people waiting to have their book signed. How cool is that? Mom and I trying to figure out which way to go. How did that picture get in here? A great way to end the day. We had a great time. I hope to have many more...the cake was good too!

Got Plans For This Weekend?

Got plans for this weekend? AJC Decatur Book Festival | August 31-September 2, 2012 | Authors | Gianetta Palmer The Decatur Book Festival is going on this weekend in Decatur, Georgia. It is a suburb on the southeast side of Atlanta and is going to be an awesome way to spend the Labor Day weekend. The main reason that I am so excited about it is that I will be having my first public book signing. I will be in the Emerging Writer's Pavilion (WOW!) on Saturday, September 1, at exactly 1:15 p.m. Because of the large number of writers involved in the festival, I'll only be there a short time. So, if you're in the area and want to meet the MA Fat Woman in person and get a signed copy of the book then you'd better get there early or at least be on time. Pedro, my hairdresser, has got me looking all sparkly and fabulous or about as sparkly and fabulous as I can look and I even got a new pair of shoes: New Balance 609 tennis shoes if you're wondering. I still haven't decided on an outfit but I know it will be something cool and comfortable and not a dress. After all, it is still summertime in the south and that means hot and muggy. Mom and Friend are coming along for the ride so it should be really fun. Again, if you're in the area, Saturday, September 1, at 1:15 p.m., stop by and say Hey!

Decatur Book Festival Appearance

Yippee! Hooray! Cool Beans! Can you believe it? Yep, I'll be at the Decatur Book Festival hanging out with a bunch of other literary people (snort). I think I'm going more for the festival food than the literary side of things. Nope, not true at all! I'll be into the food but I AM VERY EXCITED TO BE PARTICIPATING in the literary side of things too! If you are new to the blog and didn't know I had a book just click the book icon on the left side of the blog and it will take you straight to Amazon to give you all of the details. Lord, I'm gonna have to go my hairdresser, P, so he can get my hair under control again. At age 45, I have discovered head bands and I haven't fixed my hair since the Erma Bombeck Workshop. I'm already stressed about what to wear... Click on the link and check me out. Hope to see you there! AJC Decatur Book Festival | August 31-September 2, 2012 | Authors | Gianetta Palmer
