Nanette is a long-standing volunteer for Wigtown Book Festival and for Wigtown Festival Company year-round. She was worried about how she could support a digital festival this year and so is the inspiration behind this year's author gift pack being sent to our speakers (more on that soon). Nanette lives in Wigtown with her husband, Bill, and during the festival can often be found at our information point in the County Buildings, helping to direct visitors with her immense local knowledge. During the year you'll also find her helping at The Kist and The Open Book, bookshop holiday experience. Thank you Nanette for all that you do.
