This festival - a bit less technological than the Film Festival but not less known is appreciated by everyone in society. AyeWrite has been running for 6 years now and is only improving as the years go on. The event has already been a few days in but I thought I would give you my thoughts and opinions of it so far incase theres anything that may be of interest. Ayewrite has from day one been held in one of Europes largest reference libraries: The Mitchell Library; a spacious, distinctive building built accross 5 floors.
The line up this year has celebrated the full spectrum of writing Glasgow has to offer but not forgetting the feature of Scottish and international authors also. This is what gives this event its cultural edge and variety. This variety is also shown in the wide mix genres covered throughtout the festival; fiction and non-fiction, poetry and prose, crime, comedy, politics and debate. Similar to the GFF, throughout the book festival there are many activities which succeeded in trying to attract the all different cultures from around Glasgow and surrounding areas, especially the younger generations. These activities included debates, author talks, workshops, creative reading/writing events, young peoples book discussions and even musical events. I will leave you with a direct link to the official website for this year and next year.
AyeWrite!
Next week I'll be presenting you with my opinions on The Scottish Fashion awards - which Glasgow is proudly hosting this year. See you then.
