The world's largest book festival takes place every August in
Edinburgh and our members are always well represented with their
books on sale in the festival bookshops and their authors taking
part in events.
EIBF hosts various events at other times of the year and also
runs the Booked! programme which takes the Edinburgh
International Book Festival on the road around Scotland, throughout
the year, supported by players of People's Postcode Lottery.
This year's festival runs from 12 to 28 August. The programme
was launched on 13 June and booking opens on 20 June. For more
details, see the EIBF website.

Balancing culture and commerce is more complicated than ever.
Publishers face ever tougher questions and are being challenged on
how to remain relevant and credible. Join us for an event hosted by
Scottish publishers and their international counterparts for a
dynamic and lively discussion on the state of the publishing
industry today in the UK and abroad. Featuring the Publishing Scotland International
Publishing Fellows of 2017.
The book tents
The adults' book tent features what is probably the biggest
selection of our publisher members' books for sale that you will
find anywhere. They are set out by publisher name.
There's also a great selection of members' books to buy in the
children's tent. You'll find everything from board books for babies
to fiction for young adult, along with reference and
educational.
