I swore off twitter a year ago but...

The righteous outrage around the cancellation of the Aye Write festival is not merely a conversation about the merit of literary festivals, or whether Scotland’s first city deserves one. It is much, much bigger than that...

Literally unfathomable. Aye Write is hugely popular and more needed and relevant than ever. A real showcase for Scottish culture and, for writers from marginalised backgrounds, always very supportive. Also, six weeks before the festival? Wild.
