writing on the wall

The ambitious 2008 Writing on the Wall festival starts tomorrow.
I say ambitious, because organisers have taken a leap of faith for Capital of Culture year and have extended the usual week-long litfest into a whole month.
Good for them and I really hope people come out and support the myriad of events.
Alongide the obviously big names such as Tony Benn and Stephen Poliakoff, there are a host of other very interesting talks, performances and literary competitions planned.
I'll be highlighting as many as possible in the diary section of the 08 Days a Week page, but WoW has also had 10,000 glossy brochures printed so grab one from the TIC, libraries or venues and go for it.......
