Special thanks
In addition to organisations, a special mention is in order to highlight the people who contributed to the success of the festival: Katrin Tõnisson (Estonian Children’s Literature Centre), Ursula Roosmaa (British Council), Veljo Sepp (Starsound), Sophie Coumel (Institut français), Maria Koldekivi (Palace Hotel), Triin Saks ja Aarne Vaik (Käsmu Maritime Museum), Katrin Raie, Tarmo Song and Samuel Vooglaid (Theatrum), Kadi Raudalainen (Niguliste), Vahur Keller (Kellerteater), Katja Novak (Ukrainian Cultural Centre) and Johannes Lõhmus (Sõprus Cinema).
We would also like to thank Britta Koržets who organised book sales at the Estonian Writers’ Union, and Kärt Sepp, who once again made design magic happen at the venue. As a literary festival, we are not in a rush to agree that a picture is worth more than a thousand words but in the case of our photographer Dmitri Kotjuh, we are happy to make an exception. Kris Moor and Kaisa Kaer contributed with additional coverage. We are grateful to Stuudio Stuudio for our brilliant new website, merch and graphic design.
