Activities

'the advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science'

Our aim is to celebrate writing for, by, and about women. It is an inclusive event that welcomes everyone who finds joy in reading women’s fiction—commercial, romance, historical, literary, book club, and beyond. Our key objectives are: To provide a platform for women’s genre fiction – typically overlooked by other literature festivals. To encourage, respect and celebrate all readers of women's fiction, including romantic fiction. To reach a broad spectrum of readers including those from socio-economic backgrounds who do not normally attend literature festivals. To promote the mental health benefits of reading. To create a community of writers and readers of women’s fiction in Scotland. The festival showcases authors of genres that are often overlooked. Our aim is to give readers the opportunity to meet and hear their favourite authors. We also hope to foster a community through lively discussions, meaningful conversations, and authentic connections.
