Final talk at here in Dubai. It was great to see so many give up their Saturday morning to come along, listen, ask thoughtful questions (including the inevitable Trump one!), and buy books!
Gutted to miss talk which clashed but we still got to chat in the Green Room and talk all things writing and agents - we share the same one. Donāt worry Ben it was all very good! š

Then off to HQ to deliver a talk on āHow To Negotiate When Failure Is Not An Optionā followed by Q&A and book signing.
Rounding the day off with dinner with friends!
