Dominic Winter was key in the founding of the first Swindon Festival of Literature in 1994. It was his idea and his wish that there be ‘something bookish’ in Swindon. His company, Dominic Winter Book Auctions (http://www.dominic-winter.co.uk/ ) has supported the festival throughout its twenty-one years.

Dominic was a fan of the festival, a loyal supporter, and key member of our steering group. He was a good friend and is sorely missed.
