Hundreds of writers from all over the world will gather this month for the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2022. For 17 days from Saturday August 13 to Monday August 29 around 550 authors, thinkers and musicians are expected to attend the Scottish event at the Edinburgh College of Art in the heart of the city's Old Town.
A registered charity, the Scottish book festival is a non-profit organisation bringing together leading and emerging writers which offers great opportunity to see favourite authors and discover new ones. Highlights of the festival include the Writer's Retreat where leading authors give insights into their books and also the craft of writing.
There is also plenty of reading workshops on offer with the First Book award offered for debuting writers. Scottish crime writer Ian Rankin, 'Grown Ups' writer Marian Keyes and British academic writer Alexander McCall Smith are among just some of the names set to appear at the event.
