Friday 16th August, 11am – 12noon   WRITER’S RETREAT, EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL BOOK FESTIVAL

Edinburgh’s streets are steeped in literary history. From Scott and Stevenson to Renton and Rebus, writers have responded to the character and characters of Auld Reekie. In this special reading workshop, Alanna Knight, author of the much-loved Inspector Faro series and the Rose mcQuinn series will be speaking with a panel of fellow Edinburgh writers offering a unique insight into how they capture Scotland’s capital with only words as their weapons.
