Aye Write - Glasgow's Book Festival

The Aye Write and Wee Write festivals seek to nurture a love of reading, writing, and books in people throughout Glasgow and beyond.  Both events are dependent on external funding that is not guaranteed from year to year.

The festivals have developed and grown over the course of two decades thanks to support from Creative Scotland. Unfortunately, our 2024 funding application to Creative Scotland was not successful so Aye Write and Wee Write will not be able to take place as festivals this year.

While bids from events for funding support continue to exceed monies available – especially during the current difficult economic climate – some events will inevitably miss out, and we recognise that decision-making around funding award recipients is extremely challenging.

We appreciate there will be considerable disappointment that the two festivals will not be held this year.  We will be organising some pop up Aye Write events during 2024 and also developing our funding application for 2025, which if successful, means a return for the festivals in May next year.
