KRaW Team

Paul Shields
Creative Director / roustabout

Why are you involved with the festival?
I was approached to run an event at KWF2021 and things ballooned from there. I am passionate about story-telling and community building, two things that intersect beautifully through KWF. Also getting to pick authors to visit our town feels like a lo-fi version of guest programming ‘Rage’ – which is a bit of a thrill.

What are you most excited about for KWF 2022?
Having the amazing Mandy Beaumont back for another year to showcase her debut novel ’The Furies’, and catching up with everyone who was a part of last years fest
