In addition, I get to haul home as many free Advanced Reader Copies of books as I can manage to carry. This is usually a lot. The problem is I don't have space for that sort of thing. So after I get back... it's free book day at my house. More likely, it's free book day at whoever's house I'm going to, so I'll try to get an assortment and people can take what they want.
If they weren't ARCs, I'd sell them. But people don't tend to want to buy ARCs unless it's like Harry Potter or something of that ilk.
BEA tends to be fun but tiring. And it really makes me put on my Confident And Can Approach People mask.

I didn't get any work from the London Book Fair, but I quickly learnt that really, everybody there was there in order to talk about rights. Some of the smaller publishers were willing to chat, but most of the rest were insanely busy, and editors or production staff weren't there - so handing over my card (take tons) was about all I could do. I found it extremely useful to become aware of a myriad of small publishers I had never encountered before, and I certainly intend to query more widely in the future.
And no freebies at all :-(
But I'll post on LJ all the ones I get.
Also, CASTLE! \O/
