Live Literature funding
"The beauty of the scheme is that it connects writers with readers, enabling us to reach out into communities all across Scotland, bringing books alive to potential new readers - it's a wonderful resource."
(Julie Bertagna, children's writer)
"I have seen so much enjoyment and appreciation from members of audiences over the last 6 years I have been running these events. I know many people who came would not have gone in to Edinburgh for events. Although we have our own little Book Festival now, it has simply increased the demand and attendance, rather than competing with our events."
(Librarian from East Lothian Libraries)
