We are delighted to announce that a three-day Literary Festival will take place in St Clémentin, Deux-Sèvres, France, from Friday, August 31^st to Sunday, September 2^nd, 2012.

This will be the first-ever festival of its kind in this region of France. It is open to English and French authors, publishers and booksellers. It is already attracting a great deal of interest both locally and elsewhere. 

We are delighted that well known British authors Helen Dunmore, Roisin McAuley, Katherine Gallagher, Duncan Falconer, The Linen Press, and poet David Cooke have at present accepted our invitation to attend.

The festival will also be celebrating French writing, and amongst the French authors who have accepted our invitation are Michel Cordeboeuf and Isabelle Soulard.

In all, more than thirty French and British authors will be participating. There will be readings, conferences, discussions, book-signings and workshops.
