A celebration of the written, spoken, sung and read word.

This year's authors include:

Joanne Harris, (festival patron), who'll be discussing her life and work, including her new book The Lollipop Shoes; zany poet Nick Toczek who'll show you how to twist a rhyme and turn rhythm into poems, with a few magic tricks up his sleeve; poet and performer extraordinaire, Lemn Sissay fresh from California, Los Angeles; novelist and broadcaster Stuart Maconie, who'll be reading from and discussing his new book Pies and Prejudice; plus sharp, silver-tongued performance poetry and lyrics from Generation TxT.

Plus writing workshops, open mic events, writing competitions and prizes!
