About us
We are Edinburgh International Book Festival: the world-leading festival of words, literature, and ideas.
Every August we present the largest public celebration of the written word in the world, bringing together over 500 events with the most exciting writers and thinkers on the planet to ignite imaginations, foster human connection, and challenge the status quo.
We hope you can join us, whether in person or online.
