Litfest is more than just the literature festival that the name suggests - though there's another great festival coming up in November. We also publish work through Flax, run professional development seminars for writers and deliver a range of projects with different groups throughout the year.

Out Now!The Midland Book
Litfest's most recent publication, The Midland Hotel, is the only book that documents the transformation of the much-loved art deco Midland Hotel in Morecambe.
Photographer Simon Webb and award-winning novelist Sarah Hall have worked together to produce a unique collection of photographs and text that shed light on places for the most part unseen or untouched for years, and reveal what has been, and what might have been, going on behind closed doors.
for more detail, go to The Midland Book page.
Flax Books (print) 
West Coast, North Hill offers poetry that comes from the internal and external landscapes of the North West of England. As with any area, borders are not easily defined, we might be one place, thinking of another, we might be about to leave, or have just returned. So, these poems also travel across continents. While in Before the Rain, Mollie Baxter, Thomas Fletcher and Peter Wild prove themselves to be engaging storytellers in stories that are war-torn, sub-marine and forest-ridden, and each unpicks dilemmas we can all relate to: love, fear and loyalty.
