Less than 2 weeks to go. Fabulous panels and writer events - one panel is sold out unless you get a Festival Pass - get your tickets now! 😍

[Madeleine @Mad_Mob]

So glad this wonderful exhibition is on again ⁦@edbookfest⁩. It closes on Sunday. Don’t miss it! #EdBookFest

[Madeleine @Mad_Mob]

So true.

@JaneSAnderson15 Wonderful news, Jane. Congratulations! Can’t wait to read it.

Momentous moment in my writing life. After 12 years writing - tomorrow I will be a published author. Tbh I’m very nervous 😬 Wish me luck! 🤩

[Madeleine @Mad_Mob]

Did you know that many events @edbookfest (starting on Saturday) are also available online? If you can’t come to #EDINBURGH, Edinburgh will come to you. #Edbookfest

[Madeleine @Mad_Mob]

Very witty play called Enquiry Concerning Hereafter performed @AdamSmithHouse as part of @edfringe, shedding some light on the characters of Adam Smith and David Hume. Wonderful actors too. Highly recommend it. #EdFringe2023 #Edinburgh #edinburghfringe

What a final that was!

The flying dutchmen are on top of the world once again! 🌈

Well done @edbookfest for standing by an organisation that is trying to be part of the solution when @GretaThunberg decided 9 days before the event she doesn’t like the sponsor that has supported the festival for 19 years already.

[Edinburgh International Book Festival @edbookfest]

We are sorry to tell you that Greta Thunberg's event, due to take place at The Playhouse on Sunday 13 August, will no longer go ahead. More information can be found in our Press Release: https://t.co/kt7zvPGyen

[Edinburgh International Book Festival @edbookfest]

With just 10 days until the Festival kicks off, our team aver busy on site at the @eca_edinburgh building our Book Festival Village. Here’s a sneak peek of the shelves in the bookshop, brought to you by @Waterstones, which are filling up each day 📚

@Redworth51 @UNYAyouth I still enjoy looking at your card, bought in the exhibition in Edinburgh in 20191

[Madeleine @Mad_Mob]

Thank you, Nick. Good luck, Jenny!

[Edinburgh International Book Festival @edbookfest]

📣 We are delighted to announce Jenny Niven as the next @edbookfest director, taking over from Nick Barley in Sept 2023. “There’s no greater platform... to celebrate the role of creativity, imagination and story in understanding and reshaping the world around us” – Jenny Niven

[Edinburgh International Book Festival @edbookfest]

On Wednesday, we’ll be unveiling this year’s Book Festival programme – we can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on. In the meantime, here’s a look back at our brochure covers over the last 40 years. Which one is your favourite?

Always special to vote in Dutch elections and use my democratic right, also when living abroad. The Embassy functions as a ‘ballot box’ for Dutch people living in the UK who are registered to vote. Glad to be Dutch and proud of our democratic system.
