Facts and fiction, ideas and inspiration: there will be a cacophony of words from the 5-14 March at Theatre by the Lake when the ninth Words by the Water Literature Festival takes place. A crowd of readers and writers will jostle together in a book-induced euphoric haze. We can’t claim to provide something for everyone or to please all the people all of the time but we feel confident that those with an open mind, love of words, and a curiosity about the world will enjoy the sheer diversity of the programme. Be adventurous, be curious, try the unknown, and treat yourself to many events at the festival.
