I’m excited to be working on my first book festival as part of my role at Scots in London. This St Andrew’s tide Scots in London will be hosting their first book festival in London – the St Andrew’s Book Festival – http://www.standrewsbookfestival.org
We are working with HandHeld events who are curating the programme for us – Jo and Lyndy are the experts behind many of the country’s leading book festivals, including Hay, Cheltenham and Chiswick to name just a few!
We already have some big names confirmed, including best-selling authors Sir Alexander McCall Smith, Sir Ian Rankin, Judy Murray and Andrew O’Hagan. Alongside these bestsellers the Festival will also showcase debut novelists and host events for schools and families.
I’m currently working on the Festival marketing and supporting the event planning, and working with a designer to build the Festival website.
With a long list of authors already booked I have a varied and exciting list of books to be reading over the coming months!
