Whanganui Literary Festival will be held later this year.
The biennial event attracts authors, writers and readers eager to impart and absorb knowledge of their chosen craft.
The 11 members of the Whanganui Literary Festival Trust and committee have been organising authors and preparing a programme well in advance of the September / October festival.
Trust chairwoman Mary-Ann Ewing says nine authors have accepted an invitation to speak at the event.
