What they talk about when they talk about NorthWords…..

 

The audience…..

“Thanks to the organizers! Brilliant atmosphere, camaraderie, variety and quality of events… top notch in every respect!”

“What a great festival. This has been one of the best weekends I have had for a very long time.”

 

“Thanks to everyone for organizing such a great event. The authors were outstanding and the events extremely well organized – not to mention the warm and friendly atmosphere created. Outstanding event in a beautiful setting. Thank you!”

 

The authors…..

 “All the authors have had such a great time here in Huntsville.  We have been treated like rock stars.”
Terry Fallis

 

“I hope you could tell, we all had a great time. I was sorry to miss the Friday night, I would’ve liked to be there for every bit of such a great festival:)
I’ll gladly take part any time, truly a great event you have put together. If you need moderators or interviewers in the future, let me know!” Gill Deacon
  
“I was thrilled and honoured to be a part of the Festival. The events were curated so thoughtfully and you were brilliantly accommodating to all of us. It was truly very special. Every detail was considered, the houses were full and the audiences were engaged.
Thank you so much to you and the Festival committee for all of your hard work and care. Of course, I would love to be a part of it in the future.”  Claudia Dey

 

“I only need to think of a single detail (e.g. pianist at the Girls’ Luncheon) to glimpse the work that went into planning and hosting such a beautifully executed festival. You made camaraderie among the writers so easy, something we often miss in our solitary professions. You made us feel appreciated. The events were nicely curated and well organised and staffed. You got the readers and the media out. For all of this, thank you so much.”   Cathy Marie Buchanan

 

“Phyliis and I both enjoyed our time in Huntsville. Your hospitality was first rate, and I was impressed by the audiences that I read to.”   Richard B. Wright
