Read on how to be prepared to be
engaged, inspired and entertain…
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.
