Due to circumstances beyond our control, Dundee Book Events has sadly had to close shop. We wish to thank you for many years of support both from the general public and those authors who entertained our packed out audiences.
Every one of the committee past and present has enjoyed many years of bringing authors to Dundee and we hope that in your way you will continue to support literary events where you find them and continue to read and discover authors new to you by supporting your local bookstores.
