Autumn is becoming the season for literature in Donegal and we're delighted to say that our authors will be giving readings and lectures at the county's three keynote festivals over the next couple of months.
The Ulster-Scots writer and poet Alan Millar (bottom left), who is currently working on a new poetry collection Hinba - The Lost Isle of St Columba, will be reading at the Frances Brown Festival, taking place in the Twin Towns (Ballybofey & Stranorlar) from October 9-12.
The Letterkenny Cathedral Quarter Literary Festival, October 16-19 - now marking both its tenth year and the 250th anniversary of the birth of Jane Austen - will feature a writing masterclass from Pat McArt (top left), whose memoir War, Peace and the Derry Journal was one of the highlight's of last year's proceedings. It will also include a talk from True Colours novelist Jim Simpson (bottom right).
And Felicity McCall will be reading from her new short-story collection What We Did on Our Holidays at the Allingham Arts Festival, November 5-9 in the run-up to her book's official launch at Derry's Central Library on November 15.
