Write On! The Mitchell, 28 March, 2015
A Day of Engagement and Debate
Saturday 28 March, 2015
The Mitchell
Aye Write! Glasgow’s Book Festival always engages with the big issues. Current affairs and social themes run through our programming ever year, and the passion and erudition of our audiences ensures that these events are never anything less than lively, at times challenging, and always thought-provoking.
In 2015, with an extraordinary year for Scotland not far behind us, and this year looking no less interesting, we are devoting a whole day to looking at current social issues from a literary perspective. We’re bringing together speakers and writers from across Scotland and the UK to discuss the issues that are at the top of the agenda now. Join the debate!’
