Literature Festival

Derbyshire Literature Festival 1-14 June 2008.

Many thanks to everyone who attended and supported this year’s events. The Festival featured over 70 events including author talks, workshops, walks, and trails.

As part of the Festival we invited people to enter our ‘mini-mobile library saga’ writing competition.

The competition was very successful with over 100 entries received from all over the country.

The idea of the Mobile Library as a setting for a mini-saga really captured people’s imaginations and inspired them to put pen to paper. Romance and crime were the most popular topics for stories.
