We’re delighted to announce that www.booksanctuary.co.uk are sponsoring the Linlithgow Book Festival this year. As attendees at an ‘open mike’ session at last year’s festival, we were struck by the enthusiasm and warm welcome at the event. As a local business passionate about writing and its growth, we were pleased to meet with the organisers and agree sponsorship.
Linlithgow Book Festival is a volunteer-run event founded in 2006 by Roy Dalgleish and Gail Boardman. The Festival began as a one-day affair but quickly grew to fill a full weekend.
LBF brings to Linlithgow authors, based around the central belt of Scotland, who have a wide range of subject matter and experience. From big names and Booker winners to local authors and, at the open mike, unpublished writers, you’ll find it all at LBF. The 2011 programme includes Janice Galloway, James Robertson and Alan Bisset.
We look forward to attending a number of events, and we’ll be tweeting from the festival when it runs from 4th to 6th November. One of our team members may even pluck up the courage to read at the open mike event.
If you are interested in attending the Linlithgow Book Festival, please see their website for more details - http://www.linlithgowbookfestival.org/
In the weeks leading up to the festival we will be writing more about upcoming events, so check Book Sanctuary for updates.
Until next time,
Thomas
