This year at ChipLitFest we are celebrating women of endeavour. As women over the world rise up to lift awareness of the obstacles they face in their professional and personal lives, we’ll be joined by some amazing women who have faced and beaten immense challenges: physical, political and personal. 

Pheebs, our junior reporter, is a sixth form English student. She's just read Paul Henry's The Glass Aisle and written a review for us. 

Will Self thinks we’ve had it with novels - “…absolutely doomed to become a marginal cultural form, along with easel painting and the classical symphony,” but at ChipLitFest the novel is alive and kicking and we’re going to be celebrating our love for it. 

Who comes to ChipLitFest? And why? At the end of every ChipLitFest our number-crunching team gets to work on all the statistics and this year we thought we would share the results. Laura Parker adds up the numbers.
