I’ve just come back from the Festival du Premier Roman in Chambéry, France – a festival dedicated to debut novels. All the authors at the festival are invited because their books have been chosen by reading groups and students.
Our Endless Numbered Days received the student vote which meant that I got to meet four large groups of students who had been studying my book. I’m going to do a post about my time there soon, but in the meantime I thought I’d show the book covers for Our Endless Numbered Days that some of the students designed, including the winning design, and the one designed by their teacher which I was presented with. I think they’re all amazing. Penguin, Tin House, and all my other publishers take note!
Update: Here’s my post about attending the festival.

Chambery? Not at all far away from me, if only I’d known… although this past weekend has been hellishly busy, so I may be talking more wish-fulfillment rather than being realistic.

Oh really. I had no idea you lived in France. You must look out for the festival next year. It’s a good one.

Sadly, I’ll be returning to the UK this summer, so won’t be here next year. Sounds like an enjoyable experience, so glad you could make it!

That’s awesome, Claire. What a special event. It would be cool to see other people’s take on your story, in art form.

Thanks David. Apparently they also acted out scenes from the book and filmed them, but I haven’t seen them yet. So flattered that they chose the book and studied it.
