A PUBLISHING company has found a novel way of funding a huge festival in York.
The annual Festival of Angels is usually paid for by city businesses but organisers were struggling to raise sufficient funds.
York publisher ENDpapers stepped in to help by publishing a book, Festival of Angels, set during the event.
A percentage of profits will help fund this year's festival.
Author Magdalena Chvez, chairwoman of ENDpapers, said: "I decided to write the novel to help raise the necessary funds to run the festival.
"Maybe writing a novel will attract the attention of someone who has the resources to back such community based events such as the Festival of Angels."
The festival is held next weekend with the Parade of Angels starting from the Elim Church, in Swinegate, at 2pm on Sunday.
The novel is available from bookshops, priced £9.95.
