Richmond Literature Festival Approaches

---

With a celebrity line-up

The annual Richmond upon Thames Literature Festival (formerly known as Book Now) enters its nineteenth year. Running throughout November, there will be a selection of literature events, at various venues across the borough from which to pick and choose.

Highlights this year include Peter Snow, Virginia Ironside, Richard Cohen and John Simpson. The Literature Festival has entered a fuller partnership with' artsrichmond', who they are working with closely on an increased portion of the festival.

They have also linked up for the first time with The London Library and English PEN, as well as introducing a new fringe programme. There is a new website at  www.richmondliterature.com where you can find details of the Fringe Programme and Young People’s Events.
