WBF 2023 event reviews from the Young Journalists

10 June 2024

In the run-up to the 25th Wigtown Book Festival, we sent a professional journalist and photographer to provide training sessions at our local high school for S3-S5 pupils. Each participant was tasked with using their honed skills to write a review of an event.

Please enjoy the event reviews below, all thanks to the 2023 Young Journalists.
