May in Italy

May 29, 2023 by Paul Dowswell

Wonderful week in Italy with Equilibri and Hamelin between May 9th and 16th giving talks in schools and libraries. Also very excited to discover my Italian book Destini Incrociati, (Feltrinelli), which does not have a British publisher, came second out of 36 books nominated for the Hamelin Associazione Culturale Book prize. A big thank you to Gabriela Zucchini at Equilibri, and Nicola Galli Laforest at Hamelin, for inviting me over.

Trip to Italy

April 29, 2023 by Paul Dowswell

Really looking forward to my trip to lovely Italy over 9th to 16th May, where I’ll be visiting schools and book awards in Carpi, Piacenza, Bologna, and Venice. I’ll be mainly talking about my two recent books ‘Bomber’ (publ. Equilibri) and ‘Destini Incrociati’ (Feltrinelli) and my other Italian books too. I’m very lucky to have my friends Jaya Giuditta de Concini and Barbara Servidori along to translate for me.
