WAYS WITH WORDS: DARTINGTON FESTIVAL, 8-15 JULY
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.For a week in July, the Ways With Words Literary Festival takes place at Dartington Hall: with its medieval buildings, beautiful grounds, woodland and river walks. A busy schedule of workshops, discussions and talks covers science, philosophy, ecology, the craft of writing, psychology and history . Kate Adie fires the festival's opening salvo with 'War Words'; the McLibel trial is discussed by John Vidal, Helen Nicoll gives an illustrated talk on Sissinghurst, and Valerie Belsay celebrates English green lanes. Claire Tomalin considers whether novels truly reflect the life of their author and Susie Orbach reflects on 20 years of Fat is a Feminist Issue. Plus much, much more - send for a brochure now.
