Events will take place at a range of venues, including Marryat Hall, Central Library and Mills Observatory.

Authors including Fife crime writer Val McDermid, and Ambrose Parry – the pen name for husband-and-wife team Chris Brookmyre and Dr Marisa Haetzman – are among those set to appear.

A full programme of events will be released next month, with tickets going on sale in May.
