'Keep the Conversation Going' is the mantra for the online 2020 edition of the Edinburgh International Book Festival running 15-30 August.

The festival programme of 140+ events is free (registration is recommended) and will feature events and speakers from 30+ countries.

You can chat with fellow Festival goers via digital chatrooms and take part in Q&A sessions, and you'll even be able to meet the author and get your books signed (selected events).

Among the themes of the festival are:

• Ground-breaking Voices in Literature
• Making Climate Change Personal
• Visions of a Better Future
• Made in Scotland

Several events are presented in partnership with the British Council.
