Author Events in Leicestershire INTRODUCTION The concepts behind the re-branding of Author Events in Leicestershire (previously named ‘PageTurner’) were discussed after it was established that a small programme of author events would be running in the spring of 2011. This follows the successful event with Peter Robinson at Wigston Library in August 2010 (over 130 people attending) and the gathering interest of a forthcoming visit of Gervase Phinn. The intention is to have one event in each major library during 2011 - aiming to bring authors and readers together, to boost the standing of the libraries in their communities and to cement our relationships with publishers. Crime writer Sophie Hannah is potentially lined up for February/March 2011. There was a strong need to re-establish the profile of Author Events as the old ‘PageTurner’ branding was no longer being used and was regarded as ‘old-fashioned’ and ‘dull’. The request was to produce a catchy brand name, publicity for events, so that a recognisable style could be established, an identity that people would start to associate with Leicestershire Author Events .
