At the start of March, we asked people to complete our Survey to gage interest in organising a Wigan Literature Festival. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been many responses to the survey, so we have come to the conclusion that there isn’t currently enough interest to organise a Wigan Literature Festival.
Wigan Literature Festival’s aim is: To connect local #writers and #readers together. We think Wigan has some great Authors, with really unique voices and still want to meet our aim in someway.
So for now, we are going to keep the Facebook page and this website active.
We’ll be putting together a New By Wigan Authors newsletter, so if you’re an author and have a new creative work, please get in touch with a cover image and some information about it.
Best Wishes,
Wigan Literature Festival Volunteers
Hi, I’m sorry to hear about the lack of interest in the literature festival. It’s such a shame as the event would’ve benefited authors and readers alike. Thanks for trying, though. I appreciate your hard work. Please include me in the newsletter, I’ll send you over more details on The Burning Truth as soon as I have them.
Kind regards,
Samantha Turner
Hi Samantha,
We are not giving up with the idea. Just pausing it for a year and will try and float the idea again next year.
Owe, exciting. New work. Do you know when you’ll be able to send me some details by?
Best Wishes,
Antony
Very soon I hope! My publishers are due to send me the cover art ideas and the book should be released at the end of April,. I’m glad to hear you’re not giving up, I’ll help with getting the word out too.
Awesome. Keep me updated.
I’ve just realised my website no longer has ‘author’ in. It should be
http://www.samanthaturner.net
Thanks 😊
I’ll update now 🙂
Hi I didn’t receive the email survey perhaps because I’m mainly a scriptwriter but I also run creative writing groups. Please add me to your mailing list.
Hi Julie,
I’ve added you to the ‘Authors’ page, think I need to rename that. I’ve also added your email to our Newsletter list.
BW,
Antony
Hi, could you add me to the mailing list please? Thanks!
Hi Hazel,
Will do it now.
