Celebrating ‘everything bookish or wordy’, Milton Keynes Literary Festival returns for its second year from 21st to 24th September, with an even more impressive line-up of authors, poets and performers.
Readers and theatregoers will recognise bestselling authors such as Mark Haddon, Stella Duffy, Adam Mars-Jones and Bryony Lavery.
Fans of performance poetry will be able to see modern icons Lemn Sissay and Hollie McNish, and budding writers will be able to sharpen their skills with the Open University’s Creative Writing Team.
The Holiday Inn in Central Milton Keynes will be transformed into a uniquely booky festival space, and all are welcome to come and mingle with the literary crowd, meet renowned authors, discover new favourites, get books signed or take part in a workshop to become wordsmiths themselves.
Local talent is on offer too, including translator Joe Laredo, best-selling crime author Adam Croft and children’s book designer and writer Kate Milner.
As well as all this, there are storytelling performances and workshops, an LGBT literary salon, a whole host of novelists, YA authors, biographers, short story writers and poets - and the breakfast launch of MK Foodbank’s heartfelt anthology, Tales from the Foodbank.
With more than 30 events across the weekend, there is a title for everyone and they’re all page-turners!
