The Kidwell-e Festival was intended to be the UK's first literary festival dedicated to ebooks and digital publishing.[1] The festival was devised by failed author, the late Julian Ruck.[2] It was to take place at the venue of Ffos Las racecourse near Kidwelly, in Carmarthenshire, across the weekend of 28–29 July 2012.
A major part of the festival was the Kidwell-e Ebook Awards, aimed at both unpublished and established authors.[3] There was a £10,000 cash prize for the best unpublished or self-published e-book by a British author.[4]
The event was poorly attended and cancelled after the first day.[5]
