With thanks to our 2024 Sponsors and Supporters

Edinburgh International Book Festival is fortunate to receive support from a wide range of individuals and organisations who play a pivotal role in enabling us to deliver our work. Without them, our Festival simply wouldn’t be as vibrant, inspiring and accessible as it currently is.

We are enormously grateful to all those who so generously choose to contribute.
