Sponsors of the Brewin Dolphin Borders Book Festival should attract rave reviewsSince its launch in 2004, the Borders Book Festival has grown rapidly in popularity and stature and has become established as one of the top five literature festivals in the country and one of the Scottish Borders' most prestigious events.
Consistently praised by the national press for its quality, the festival has delighted audiences of all ages year on year by bringing many distinguished, entertaining and high profile writers to the picturesque town of Melrose in June each year.
It also nurtures new talent by providing a platform for debut writers and local authors.
Influential
In 2010, Rory Bremner, Jim Naughtie, former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo and Gervase Phinn returned to dazzle audiences, along with John Simpson, John Prescott, Sarah Raven, Lord Hurd, William Fiennes and Dame Shirley Williams.
This is in addition to a long list of other fascinating, influential and entertaining authors.
"Add the prestigious Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust Book Awards 2010, the new £25,000 Walter Scott Prize for historical fiction, the Family Book Festival and a variety of other events and activities and you can see why the festival attracted 10,000 visitors in 2010.
Significant
"A range of packages exist for the Brewin Dolphin Borders Book Festival 2011 that offer a fun opportunity to market your products and services to our growing audiences, entertain your clients or reward staff through an association with the festival.
"It also provides the opportunity to demonstrate corporate social responsibility by supporting a significant cultural and educational event that promotes literacy, social inclusion and participation.
