THE ORGANISING groups of last year’s ‘ Toradh / Harvest ’ festival of food and writing are preparing a Uist book festival in November.
‘Às an Tobar/Wellsprings’ will build on the success of last year’s Gaelic-medium literature festival, organised by Ceòlas Uibhist, expanding the array of events to also include English- medium literature.
It is to take place during Book Week Scotland from November 19-25. A writing competition will take place, with focus on the Year of Young people, for both English and Gaelic poetry and prose. There will also be an adult category.
