2010 Festival Blog
We are now well underway with our planning for Aye Write 2010. Next year’s festival will take place between Friday 5th March & Saturday 13th March 2010 and promises once again, to have the fantastic line-up of top authors and poets that you have come to expect!
I can’t reveal any details of our forthcoming author stars just yet but will give you a sneaky preview of some of our big names before the year is out!
As always the programme will celebrate the rich variety of writing we enjoy right here in Glasgow along with the best of Scottish and international writers. The festival will include a fascinating mix of fiction and non-fiction, poetry and prose, crime, comedy, politics and debate. Themes for 2010 will focus on the global financial crisis, Scottish and international law, science, Ireland and politics – in particular the “future of the left”.
Along with the usual mix of top author events, the festival will also include our award-winning free schools programme, weekend family events and a wide range of reading and creative writing workshops to ensure that there is something for everyone!
So watch this space for regular updates on Aye Write 2010 – I will be back soon to fill you in on all our plans!
I look forward to welcoming you back to the Mitchell for next year’s festival!
