Book Week Scotland runs from Monday to Sunday November 18-24 and this year its theme is ‘Blether’.
Local libraries are marking the festival by hosting Meet the Author events
On Tuesday author and editor Moira Forsyth will be at Brora Library from 2.30pm to discuss her novels, which all have links with the Highlands.
Three authors – Philip Paris, Liz Treacher and Helen Sedgwick – are scheduled to be at Dornoch Library on Wednesday 2pm-3pm and are inviting people to send in questions beforehand.
Fearn based Philip has a varied range of work but is probably best known for his books about Orkney’s famous Italian chapel. He won the 2019 Scottish Association of Writers’ Barbara Hammond Trophy for Men Cry Alone, a novel about domestic abuse against men.
Helen, from Tain, was shortlisted for the Saltire Society Fiction Book of the Year for her 2017 novel The Growing Season. She is currently writing a crime series.
Liz Treacher is based in Dornoch and has written two romantic comedies. When she is not writing, Liz works as a Literacy and Creative Writing tutor at Brora Learning Zone.
