MLF is 10

We wanted to celebrate our 10th anniversary in a playful way so invited festival authors to send us photos of themselves aged 10. Our designers at MARK Studio have used these to create a fun and engaging brochure and marketing campaign that incorporates some of our finest authors in their youth.

We would like to thank the following authors for taking part: Mai Al-Nakib, Anita Anand, Margaret Atwood, Kevin Barry, Ned Beauman, Bidisha, Danny Brocklehurst, King Burga, Shruti Chauhan, Mary Costello, Andrew O’Hagan, Alexandra Harris, Joanne Harris, Rachel Holmes, Anthony Horowitz, Yasmeen Ismail, Tim Key, Renee Knight, Gulwali Passarlay, Michael Rosen, Polly Samson, Care Santos, Sunjeev Sahota, Kristina Stephenson, May Lan-Tan, Lydia Towsey, Kirmen Uribe and Kathryn Williams.

As part of our 10th anniversary campaign, MARK have also created a series of 10 postcards including lists of authors' 10 favourite words.We will posting the photos and the lists of 10 words on social media in the run-up to this year's Festival. We encourage Festival friends and audience members to post their photos and lists too:
