Write on Wight returns following its successful debut in 2024, and we are pleased to announce its expansion for this year’s festival. This enhanced programme will provide even greater opportunities to recognise and celebrate the wealth of literary talent found across the Island. We warmly invite local authors to apply to participate once again, as we introduce new and dedicated sessions aimed at highlighting and honouring the creative voices of our community.
