A full programme of events for this year’s WoWFest has been announced. Dave Gibbons, Isy Suttie, and Holly McNish are some of the authors, writers and performers heading to the event when it returns to the city in May.
Now into its 17th year, WoWFest is the longest running literature festival in Liverpool and is an important part of the cultural landscape of the North West, welcoming a host of local, national and international writers to the city.
The month-long festival will deliver 29 events, exploring the future, past and present through sci-fi, super heroes, graphic novels and comic books.
This year’s programme of events include a gender identity debate led by transgender teenager fiction author Juno Dawson, a ranting poetry event ‘Stand Up and Spit – Speaking Volumes’ and a 10th anniversary special of the festival’s Pulp Idol competition.
Co-director of Writing on the Wall, Mike Morris says: “This is a new adventure for Writing on the Wall, our own journey into new areas of writing and literature with some really exciting new projects with school pupils and young people.
“We’re excited to bring to Liverpool some of the biggest names and best writers and artists – novelists, graphic novelists, illustrators and actors – an excellent array of diverse talent, one of the hallmarks of Writing on the Wall.”
