What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Its narrow focus on travel writing specifically, rather than literature in general, distinguishes it from Ireland's broader literary festivals, giving readers interested specifically in place-based nonfiction and exploration narrative a dedicated event built around that genre alone

02

The mystery stays covered

Its narrow focus on travel writing specifically, rather than fiction or poetry, distinguishes it from Ireland's broader literary festivals and gives genre-specific readers a dedicated event built entirely around place-based nonfiction

03

The city starts moving

That focus has helped the festival build a loyal following among readers who might find broader literary festivals too diffuse for their specific interest in place-based nonfiction and exploration narrative
