 
                            Preparations are underway for the third Manx Litfest.
The literature festival will take place between September 24th and 28th and will see the coming together of writers, poets and storytellers.
Award winning author Sally Gardner, who’s sold more than two million books in the UK, is the first headline name to be announced – more authors will be released in due course.
Events will take place at varying locations around the Island and will include a National Story Day, poetry trail, writer’s day and a family day based around Roald Dahl.
