The Bookmark Book Festival is alive and well in Blairgowrie and Gail Wylie is the enthusiastic Chair. From an early passion for reading through to an association with Muriel Spark, Gail has been in and and about literature for a wee while. In our conversation, she describes the passion of teaching, the recipe for a successful book festival and also offers some top reads for the dark winter nights. Gail also outlines the appeal and purpose of a book festival in a rural East Perthshire market town like Blairgowrie.
