"Having spoken at book festivals the length and breadth of Britain, I can report that A Write Highland Hoolie in Mallaig is magical, unique and precious. Nowhere else do writers meet and celebrate so gladly with readers all of the glories of the written word. Stories are how we understand the world and in the midst and the warmth of a Highland ceilidh, unforgettable stories are told, links made and remade, and at the end of a memorable weekend, the world seems somehow better."
