OCTOBER 10, 11th and 12th
I am delighted to announce the official launch of the second bi-lingual Parisot Literary Festival. Following the great success of our first festival last year we have decided to make this an annual event. Our aim is to bring exciting writers to our small village in SW France and provide a setting where they and their readers can meet and talk in a convivial atmosphere. We aim also to attract readers from beyond our immediate locality, and to make the Parisot Literary Festival an event not to be missed.
We have been working hard to produce an exciting and varied programme for this year’s festival and, with 6 French writers and 7 English, we think we have something for everyone: new fiction, non fiction, workshops, a book sale, a cookery demonstration and tasting and of course our ‘supper with the writers’ on Saturday evening. All of these events, except the Saturday night dinner, are entirely free of charge.
We have set up a Festival website which you will find at www.festilitt.com which gives the full timetable for the festival, information on all participating authors, the Maree Giles masterclass, the calligraphy workshop, our Second Hand Book sale and Friends of the Festival. There is also a link to the full 12 page programme and to our festival blog (festivallitteraire.blogspot.fr) where you will find rolling news items and articles, in both English and French, posted between now and October. Printed copies of the programme will be available in September from the Parisot Library and other outlets in the area. For all further information on the festival and for all bookings, please contact: info@festilitt.com.
I very much hope you will come and join us and help to make this second festival a big success. Please also forward this to anyone you know who might be interested to come along.
I hope to see you there!
Kind regards.
