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

Autumn Events Programme
The very first season of our new year-round programme of events!
We’re building on the success of our annual literature festival by adding
Autumn, Spring and Summer seasons of events to our programme.
And this Autumn we have a range of exciting events including poetry, prose,
performance and even a picnic. The Autumn season of readings starts on
27 September and ends on 23 October. Our events are relaxed and informal, and a great chance to hear new work.
We’re even offering special discounts on books for those who want to
read more of what they’ve heard.

Visit the new Festival and Events micro-site for all the details of this year's lineup.
The new programme includes Poet Laureate Andrew Motion, and a raft of great novelists, short story writerrs and poets, as well as new work, both in print and performance, commissioned for the festival.
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.
