Birmingham Literature Festival for Young People Do your kids love reading and writing? We have plenty for them this autumn.

In partnership with the Read On EU Project, join in with other young people aged 12 to 19 who love books, writing, and writers. See more below. We kick of the day with the Spark Young Writers Showcase, where young writers from across the West Midlands will share their stories and poems. To take part, sign up here. Don't worry, we provided for the parents, too! We are delighted to bring together Liz Berry, Kathryn Wallace and Matt Coyne who will share stories about life as a parent - with not an Instagram filter in sight.
