We spoke with Open Book Festival Coordinator Frankie Murrey on the 24th August 2018

The book festival is an upcoming expedition that will be host from the 5th – 9th September and has up to 140 events to choose from.

The festival is not for the privileged, but for everyone who loves to read. This is the chance for you to meet your favourite author and writers. You can get up close and personal with your favourite author and have conversations that really matter. You can ask anything up to why the writer chose to write a certain way, this way the reader and author can interact with each other.

This year more events will be based on gender issues and a few book seminars will be about feminism. Younger visitors will feel welcomed at the Festival with a range of exciting activities including story time at Central Library, Origami Demo Sessions and a workshop for teenagers to Create Your Own Character. 

The open book festival will have plenty of entertainment for those who can’t just read a book as is, but love to explore other ways on how to make reading interesting, for example poetry and comic book section. They will have a few extraordinary poets who will perform live. Also to join the festival is Nicole Y. Dennis-Benn the author of ‘Here come the Sun’.
The festival is to enlighten people to read and for new readers to join Open Book Festival.
