Made up of more than 100 events for adults, families and children, the programme will feature both live and pre-recorded conversations with leading writers, poets and artists from around the world. From Saturday 15 to Monday 31 August, each event will be available to watch for free on their website and YouTube channel.
Festival Director, Nick Barley, says: “The Edinburgh International Book Festival is a crucial part of the literary year for Scottish and British writers and publishers, and we felt strongly that we needed to showcase the very best writing and ideas despite not being able to come together in Charlotte Square Gardens in Edinburgh this August.”
Full details of the programme and participating authors for the 2020 Book Festival online, and information on how you can access the events, will be announced at the end of July.
