The following is a letter from this week’s SNJ (Nov 21).

MAY we, via your letters page, say a massive thank you to everyone who supported Stroud Book Festival 2018 - our fantastic volunteers, our generous sponsors, our great venues, our fabulous authors and performers, all those who backed us with great media coverage.

And most of all, to the people of Stroud and beyond who bought tickets and came along to our events over the five, rather damp November days of our Festival.

We couldn’t have done it without you!

The Stroud Book Festival team
