Leeds Lit Fest took place for the first time this year, and while it’s a new festival, it has big ambitions. Its mission is to champion literature, writing and spoken word in Leeds and support writers in developing a festival that’s distinctive, exciting, and challenging. It also wants to introduce new audiences to written and spoken word events, and bring new writers to the city. Carl Hutton, Chair of Leeds Lit Fest said: “Leeds Lit Fest is run by a partnership of arts organisations in the city and a team of volunteers and we are looking at new ways in which the festival can engage with the city. We want to encourage as many people as possible to submit their ideas for the 2020 programme. We want the programme to be creative, exciting, interesting and diverse so that we can build on the success of this year’s festival and truly reflect the literature community both within the city and beyond. Anyone with a good idea should apply. There are no barriers and the application process is really straightforward.” Photo: Matt Abbott at LLF19 by Nick Clark.
