Was just about to say the same. Nostalgia for tents in the rain, but the new location is good. Doesn't quite have the feel of the old edbookfest, but maybe that will come in time?

Glad you enjoyed it. You should be able to watch the David Olusoga event on demand via the Edbookfest website if you're still interested to see it. Lots of other talks too - they're available for a few months.

I went to see David Olugosa at Edbookfest and someone did ask that question. They start by looking somewhere they haven't been before, research quite a few houses and eventually select one which suggests a lot of good stories.

The #edbookfest is not quite over. Javier Cercas was both hugely entertaining and fascinating speaking about literature and his non-fiction novels.

Author Tahmima Anam joins the panel in reflecting on how, as creatives, we can learn from and inspire one another to imagine a more hopeful future.
In moments of uncertainty, storytelling becomes more than reflection, it becomes a way forward.

Speaking after our event at Edinburgh International Book Festival, Dr Sabrin Hasbun reminded us that today's writers carry a responsibility beyond the page: bridging thought and action, and helping build the communities to carry that action forward.

Just been to see Mark Watson at #edfrimge. Had never heard of him before #edbookfest last year when I was looking for something to do before Vince Cable & didn’t know he was on Taskmaster. Have since watched his series and today’s show was brilliant.

Great day at #edbookfest David Olusoga this afternoon - fabulous - and now in Futures Institute to see Doug Johnstone. In between that, lots of Edinburgh sunshine, a visit to the Portrait Gallery and a late afternoon coffee with my sister. Good times.
