About the Organisation

The Edinburgh International Book Festival brings leading and emerging Scottish, UK, and international authors and thinkers together to inspire each other and audiences through an extensive programme of public events, including conversation, interactive activities, and performance.

The Book Festival takes place in person in Edinburgh but has a significant digital offering to reach authors and audiences around the world.

The Book Festival has a reputation as a powerful forum for the public to exchange views with writers and experts on a wide range of issues: social, ethical, and political as well as literary and cultural.

At the heart of the Book Festival's activity is an integrated approach to creative learning and education, with the aim of expanding participation in democratic discussion, fostering a love of reading and developing engaged, knowledgeable audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
