"I really enjoyed the whole festival, it was such a brilliant experience for me. But everyone; the authors, the team, the catering staff — was incredibly warm, and the hospitality was amazing.
Some of the best-selling authors who have been to multiple festivals even told me personally that this was, hands down, the best festival they’ve ever attended.It was such a great experience, and I’m still really, really happy about it now.
It has inspired me to get writing again"
