H OT E L S Sun, Sea and Books!Welcome to the 2016 Sidmouth Literary Festival

Welcome to this year’s festival! We have got a

wonderful programme lined up for you, with some ‘Big Name’ speakers. Whatever your tastes, there is something here for everyone!

Bestselling authors include Dame Penelope Lively; Simon Weston (whose writing experiences were inspired by the Falklands War); Veronica Henry (top women’s fiction writer); Nicholas Evans (The Horse Whisperer); and the renowned thriller writer, Robert Goddard. Journalist Con Coughlin, who writes on foreign affairs for the Daily Telegraph, will also be here, along with local authors of international fame.

This year, we are also running a How To Get Published day for aspiring writers. Editors from Penguin and Pan Macmillan will be giving one-to-one advice, while Endeavour publishers

will be available to provide ideas about how to get your work into print. Don’t miss this fabulous opportunity!

In addition, there will be a poetry evening at Sidmouth Library, featuring Mantie Lister, the former Exeter bard.

And that’s not all! We have arranged for children’s authors to go into schools and talk about how they write stories. They will also be running imaginative writing workshops free of charge.

Our bookshop partner is Winstone’s and, we hope you agree, we have a great range of authors to tempt you in.

Our wonderful Sidmouth has a rich literary heritage. Over the years it has inspired writers such as Jane Austen, Beatrix Potter, R.F. Delderfield and many others. Let’s keep this tradition going. Our town deserves it.

Juliet Barker

JULIET BARKER is a distinguished biographer, medievalist and scholar. She is both a bestselling historian and a critically acclaimed expert on the Brontës. From 1983 to 1989 she was the curator and librarian of the Brontë Parsonage Museum. Her book, The Brontës: A Life in Letters, has just been updated and republished to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Charlotte Brontë’s birth.

PENROSE HALSON has been a modern languages teacher, headmistress of an eccentric ballet school, editor and writer of innumerable educational language magazines and children’s books, and master of a city livery company. Her mother sent her, aged 25 (in those days, on the shelf) to the Katharine Allen Marriage & Advice Bureau, to find a husband. She was introduced to interesting men, but did not marry any of them. Later she became proprietor of this Bureau, along with Heather Jenner’s Marriage Bureau (the subject of Marriages Are Made in Bond Street). Aged 48 she delighted her mother by marrying Bill, who had observed her talent for connecting people and together they ran their bureau for 14 years, reluctantly selling it in 2000 as internet dating started to gain the ascendant.

Working first at TSW and then Anglia Television, Fitz made the move to Sky News in the mid-1990s and was at the front of nearly every major disaster for nine years. “From the trial of OJ Simpson to the death of Princess Diana, the knack of getting myself in the right place at the wrong time even got me into Trivial Pursuit as a question in 1995!”. He also finds time for writing, and has scripted TV favourites such as The Bill and Spitting Image. Fitz joins Falklands veteran, Simon Weston, at Kennaway House on Saturday 11 June at 10am.
