Here’s what some of our Guests have said about The Festival
Been coming here for 30 years – enjoying the cross-fertilisation with other writers. Great festival.
Neil Jordan
Listowel is always a joy – informal, busy, stimulating – and above all, warm and welcoming.
Catherine Dunne
The buzz of Listowel Writers’ Week is like no other festival. The hospitality is second to none. The range of events is mind-blowing and the audiences are as entertaining as the speakers. Just being here, experiencing the creativity in the air is a privilege and an inspiration. Joe Craig
You know the great fantasy one night stand – the one where great sex is followed by jokes and laughs then, dreamless sleep? That’s what Writers’ Week feels like. When all else fails – as it has – it’s reassuring to know we’ll always have Writers’ Week. Gerard Stembridge
Listowel Writers’ Week where 40 is the new 58! David Sedaris
What an honour to be involved in such a glorious festival, especially on the 40th anniversary. Long may Listowel Writers’ Week continue. Cathy Kelly
Saturday Afternoon at Listowel Writers’ Week is a sheer delight! Robert McCrum
I thought the Listowel Writers’ Week was one of the best festivals I’ve ever been to. I hope it continues for another forty years! Michael Holroyd
