Looking Back
Finchley Literary Festival is a community organisation that was originally set up by Finchley writers' group, Greenacre Writers. They held the 'Greenacre Writers' Mini Lit Fest' in 2012 comprising one event with five guests, Paolo Hewitt, Alex Wheatle, Emily Benet, Andrew Bradford and Lane Ashfeldt reading and discussing their work, along with readings from members of Greenacre Writers.
Owing to it success, the following year's events included an Open Mic event and two writing workshops as well as the main event with invited authors, Sarah Harrison, Leigh Russell, Gina Blaxill and C.J. Flood. Alex Wheatle also joined the authors for a panel discussion at the festival's close.
2014 saw a larger festival, courtesy of additional funding, with a total of 20 events in various locations around Finchley including workshops, talks, walks and a Spoken Word event. 2015 & 2016 saw some 15 events.
