Publishing Ireland is delighted to announce an extended programme at this year’s Dublin Book Festival. Author events will be held from Wednesday, 2nd March – Sunday, 6th March 2011, in a variety of venues throughout Dublin City including the National Library of Ireland, The Gutter Bookshop, Cube at the Project Arts Centre, Dublin City Libraries and, as with previous years, Dublin’s City Hall.
You can DOWNLOAD THE 2011 PROGRAMME here.
This is the 4th Dublin Book Festival bringing together the best of Irish publishing, offering a chance for the voices of both established and up and coming authors to be heard to celebrate Dublin’s designation as a UNESCO City of Literature.
Some of the highlights include the following:
Firstly the Up For Discussion programme has a great mix of topics and speakers, though the Business, Current Affairs, Political Reform and Tomorrow's Women ones all stand out. Secondly, the Be Inspired lunchtime events on Friday, Saturday and Sunday talking real life stories, poetry and fresh voices. Finally there's an evening's entertainment on Saturday 5th at the Project Arts Centre with writing, poetry and comedy performances. It seems to be a bigger and better festival this year, with its own literary pub crawl, lots for children and a line-up of over 60 of Ireland's leading authors, poets and journalists. There are over 50 readings, debates, book launches and workshops and most events are free. A great way to celebrate Irish writing.
