Literature Links

Part of Cyprus Well’s role is to keep people in the South West informed of the many opportunities for literature activity in our region. The list below is a list of links to websites which may be valuable to anyone interested in literature activity of any kind.

Building up the links is a an ongoing process so let us know if you would like to add your organisation or event, or know of a good site we're missing. We need your help to keep this the most informed and up to date literature links list available, so please get in touch if any of these links become inactive.

NB: Cyprus Well is not responsible for content of external websites.
