Plymouth International Book Festival 2013

The Plymouth International Book Festival is a brand new literature festival, and the first large scale celebration of international and UK writers that Plymouth has ever seen. With a programme of readings, talks, poetry, workshops, demonstrations, music, film, and play, the festival promises something for everyone to enjoy.

Festival highlights this year include Kate Mosse, Ben Okri, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Lemn Sissay, and Helen Dunmore.
