Authors at Mountains to Sea
Coming your way in September!
One writer described our first festival as being “of international standard with a great local tilt” and we hope to be able to justify that accolade with this year’s programme which will be unveiled on 15th July. One early piece of news is that this year’s Beckett Address will be delivered by veteran US novelist, Robert Coover. For aspiring writers, we are also offering a series of creative writing workshops and seminars with famous-name tutors.
So to all of you book-lovers out there, do please support us just as you did last year. We look forward to seeing you in September.
Tickets are on sale now!! The festival brochure is also available online to download and in local bookstores, libraries and other locations to collect!!
