My trip to my Warwick Words event was both enlightening and heartwarming. I had a wonderful night in the school theatre talking about my autobiography Lost and Found in front of a really supportive and intelligent audience which was very encouraging!

Warwick Words is that rare event, a literary festival on a human scale, fuelled by unquenchable enthusiasm. Can I come back next year?
Marcus Berkmann

What a wonderful place to visit - beautiful historic Warwick; there is no better place at which to speak than at the Warwick Words Festival. Everyone was so warm and friendly and the audience good-humoured and very receptive. Please invite me back.

Warwick Words is a very special, very intimate, literary festival. It was as special to see as it was a privilege to take part.
Benedict Gummer

Warwick Words was a joy to visit. It was both enormously welcoming and the audience were thoroughly engaged by what I had to tell them. What writer could ask for more.
