Dates for next year's Book Festival: 9 - 25 August 2008

Welcome to the Book Festival Press Office. If you have a media request of any sort, please contact us at frances@edbookfest.co.uk and we will do our best to help.

We can advise on specific areas of the programme, filming, recording or help to arrange interviews with visiting authors and Book Festival staff.

Accreditation

If you are planning to come to the Book Festival please apply for accreditation first. To become an accredited member of the press go to Accreditation on the menu bar at the top of this page.

Press Pod Information

The Press Pod is located in Charlotte Square Gardens, Edinburgh (just off the west end of Princes Street) and is open for the duration of the Book Festival.

Please note: All press are asked to register at the Press Pod upon arrival at the Book Festival to receive press accreditation and allocated press tickets for events.

We look forward to welcoming you onsite.

Film footage

If you would like film footage of the Book Festival, of Edinburgh at festival time or of the International, Film or Fringe Festivals we have produced an Electronic Press Kit, available to help you more easily present Edinburgh and the festivals in broadcast and other media coverage. Please see the videos below which give a flavour of what footage is available.

If you would like us to send you a copy of the Electronic Press Kit on DVD or would like more information please contact press@edbookfest.co.uk

We can also supply footage on DVD, digiBeta or other high definition format.

The Festival’s Electronic Press Kit was produced by Edinburgh International Book Festival, Edinburgh International Festival, Edinburgh International Film Festival, Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Edinburgh Inspiring Capital with the help of VisitScotland.

Our grateful thanks go to all the artists and companies who helped to make this project possible.
