The director of the Isle of Man's Litfest says trying to include as many parts of the Island as possible can be challenging.
The event, which is in its third year, aims to get as many people as possible involved with specific literary events.
Teams of authors and poets go around Island schools, there's a poetry trail around Douglas as well as various other events.
John Quirk says the festival is for the whole Island, but admits it would be easier if it was more contained.Clip 1
