Hartland Book Festival

Meet local authors; listen to readings; browse books

SATURDAY 2 April 2022 10am – 4pm

Hartland Parish Hall, The Square, Hartland, EX39 6BL

Environmental, educational charity, The Resurgence Trust, which runs The Resurgence Centre in Hartland, North Devon, is hosting Hartland Book Festival on 2 April. Twenty local authors will be attending, and there will be something for both bookworms and budding writers. The event will be great for children, as we have four children’s authors attending to bring their stories to life. If you love romance novels, you’re thirsty for horror, you enjoy spy thrillers or you’re a sci-fi fan come and meet the friendly authors, buy books, and enjoy some delicious cake at Hartland Parish Hall.

The day’s exciting programme includes author talks, readings, live music, and advice on self-publishing. Historical novelist Alison Huntingford will give a talk, ‘How writing my historical novel solved a family mystery and finally righted a wrong’. Elizabeth Revill will discuss her thriller series The Electra Conspiracy and how the first novel came about. The Resurgence Trust book shop stall will be offering books that reflect a worldview integrating ecological and social justice and a holistic philosophy infused with spirituality and creativity.

Satish Kumar, editor emeritus, Resurgence & Ecologist magazine, says: “Hartland has always been a hub for creative people. From artists and potters to poets and authors, many people are inspired by the landscape and coast. The book festival will be a celebration showcasing local talent.”
