Edinburgh Women’s Fiction Festival

Friday 27 & Saturday 28 September 2024

  • Be the first to know when our festival programme goes LIVE.

  • 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 Daverly, 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

  • 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.
