This year’s Imprint promises to be bigger and better with a programme packed full of best-selling writers including Nick Nairn, Bernard MacLaverty, Denise Mina, Louise Welsh, Tom Devine, Jane Harris and Anne Donovan. We’re also very pleased to welcome Christopher Brookmyre back to Kilmarnock after his resoundingly successful appearance last year.

Critically acclaimed author William McIlvanney has become Patron of Imprint and is delighted to lend his support and back the festival which brings the enjoyment of books to the heart of his home town.

There is something for everyone with kids’ storytimes and performances and a chance to put your own creativity to the test with writing and graphic novel workshops.

We would like to thank all our sponsors and William McIlvanney; their contributions are greatly
appreciated
