Tomorrow is the first day of the 2020 Book #festival and we've got a bumper first week planned!
As well as must-see events featuring James Naughtie, Ian Rankin, Hilary Mantel, Julia Donaldson, and Maggie O'Farrell, we announce the Edwin Morgan Prize winner, crown the winners of the James Tait Black Prizes, present the first two events in our thought-provoking New York Times Series, host the penultimate episode in Jackie Kay's Makar to Makar project, chat to International Booker Prize-longlisters - and loads more!
Remember, there is no limit to the number of events you can attend during the 2020 #festival. Browse more than 140 events in our programme, then save your place and receive reminders for any events you want to see. Alternatively, find an #event in our programme that interests you and click the videoplayer button to be taken to the streaming page - then sit back and wait for showtime.
You'll even have the opportunity to chat to audience members in the digital chatroom and take part in author Q&A sessions (for selected events only) from 30 minutes before the #event starts. To ensure your #festival viewing experience is as pleasant as possible, make sure you are using an up-to-date browser - we recommend Firefox, Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Safari, which are all downloadable for free online.
