Aye Write!<\/h1>\n

It\u2019s not often we give a shout-out to our west coast cousins, but this month we want to sing Glasgow\u2019s praises high. Congratulations to the 2023 Aye Write festival for arranging a cracking programme of events.<\/p>\n

What is Aye Write!<\/h2>\n

Founded in 2005, this literary festival has gone from strength to strength, and this year 175 international authors are participating in more than 120 events between 19th<\/sup> and 27th<\/sup> May, with a spinoff Wee Write festival on 3rd<\/sup> June for the little ones in our lives.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll be speaking on topics as diverse as fiction, climate and the environment, music, politics, health issues, social activism and my own personal favourite subject \u2013 food.<\/p>\n

There are also creative writing classes available if you fancy yourself as a budding novelist or poet. And there will be musical entertainment too, as well as an open mic poetry session.\u00a0 With so many different events, there is bound to be something to appeal to anyone interested in reading, writing, and engaging with the cultural and social worlds around them.<\/p>\n

Aye Write Festival<\/h3>\n

The festival has always been housed in the impressive Mitchell Library \u2013 a good enough reason in itself to visit Glasgow.\u00a0 And this year the festival organisers have added the Royal Concert Hall as a bonus venue.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We, of course, are unbiased in our support of the festival, so we don\u2019t want to pick out particular events or authors. Oh, all right. We can\u2019t resist highlighting one event from the Wee Write festival. It\u2019s never too early to get wee ones into reading and books. Indiana Bones is a magical talking dog! He\u2019s on a perilous adventure and sounds like a very clever boy.<\/p>\n
