We host international authors visiting the UK such as Margaret Atwood, Svetlana Alexievich, Attica Locke and Tayari Jones.Our aims and objectives are for the advancement of education for the benefit of the public by the promotion of literature, language and the arts through our literary festivals in Cambridge.
