Summer 2013 will see the first Wood Green Literary Festival - organised by the tireless team at the Big Green Bookshop.

In advance of a forthcoming planning meeting, Simon from the bookshop has written a blog post  which invited local people to suggest ideas of what they would like to see and to let him know if they'd like to be involved.

You can read the full details here and suggest ideas by :

• email to Big Green Bookshop on enquiries@biggreenbookshop.com letting them know what you'd like to see.
• Put your thoughts on the comments page of their blog.
• Phone the shop on  020 8881 6767
• Add ideas to a Suggestions Box in the shop.
• Tweet us an idea, using the hashtag #N22LitFest
• Join the Facebook Group "Big Green Bookshop" and write a suggestion there.

Whilst the focus of the festival - based on the funding -is Wood Green shopping centre, does anyone have any suggestions for additional activities we could organise "up the road" in Bowes Park or Bounds Green?  ... Every festival should have a fringe!
