  • "It’s vital that we celebrate the books that are often overlooked, or dismissed as 'mere entertainment' because they are stories about women, by women."

    Claire Daverley, author of Talking At Night

  • "40% more women’s fiction novels were bought by readers [in 2022], making the genre the biggest seller overall in the UK."

    Sara-Jade Virtue, Brand Development Director, Fiction, Simon & Schuster

  • "The Edinburgh Women’s Fiction Festival will shine a light on the genre, enabling writers to meet each other, encourage emerging writers in the genre, and to introduce their work to new readers."

    Jenny Brown, Literary Agent

  • “An inspiring celebration of stories and voices, Edinburgh Women’s Fiction Festival brings writers and readers together in a truly inclusive environment. I love its independent, egalitarian spirit—it offers everyone the chance to connect, create, and feel part of something special.”

    Angela Jackson, author of The Darlings
