Aye Write, originally stylized as Aye Write!, is an annual book festival which takes place in Glasgow, Scotland in late February or early March.
[2] Originally intended to occur once every two years, Aye Write announced in 2007 that the book festival would become an annual event.
[6] The 2024 festival was announced as being cancelled after a failure to secure funding from Creative Scotland,[7] however a large donation then allowed organisers to run a slimmed programme, with pop-up events now planned to take place across 2024.
[9] People who have taken part in the festival include: Edwin Morgan, William McIlvanney, Ian McEwan, Iain Banks, Denise Mina, Louise Welsh, Jackie Kay, Andrew Motion, Lynne Truss, Jenny Colgan, John Burnside, and others.
It is open to any book written by a Scottish author (or someone working in Scotland) in the previous twelve months.
