Come and meet our festival guests as they unfold their beginnings – five minutes of the stories, books, poetry and more that they are sharing at the Festival.

Pregnant with the thrill of storytelling, full of surprises, calm, jarring, momentous or direct, the first lines of a writer’s work take us to exactly where they want us to be. Come and meet our Festival guests as they unfold their beginnings in five-minute readings. In just 30 minutes, hear from Brigid Delaney, Osman Faruqi, Simon Holmes à Court, Ben Newell and Margot Saville as they share excerpts from their new books.
