Greenwich Book Festival

In years past, this would be the weekend when our festival would be hosting all sorts of bookish fun with @UniofGreenwich & @orncgreenwich. It's not happening this year, but we will return!

All the congratulations (and champagne) to our friends at @GalleyBeggars for making the Booker Prize longlist again, this time for “After Sappho” by Selby Wynn Schwartz. We’re so happy for you! A much-deserved honour.

FREE BOOKS! (Do we have your attention now?) Come along to this free creative writing workshop Thursday at 2 pm at @ElthamLibrary, then listen to local authors. Free copies of the "City of Stories" anthology, featuring fab London authors, will be there for the taking.

@Thelastword1962 @Royal_Greenwich @RMGreenwich @orncgreenwich @GREHumanities @UniofGreenwich @GreenwichTic @GreenwichTheatr Thank you, John! You have made our day.

@GreBookFest @Royal_Greenwich @RMGreenwich @orncgreenwich @GREHumanities @UniofGreenwich @GreenwichTic @GreenwichTheatr So glad you are returning next year. Really missed the Greenwich Book Festival over the last few years.

The Greenwich Book Festival will be back in 2023! We look forward to hosting all sorts of events for every kind of book lover next summer. See you then!

Here's to 2023 and the return of @GreBookFest

This is such sad news. The Costa Book Awards were a brilliant boost to authors, the book industry and book lovers (all the best people). We hope this isn't really the end, and that a new sponsor is found soon.

Creative writing fans! (And if you follow us, we hope you are) Our friends at @STWevents & @greenwichlibs are hosting a FREE creative writing workshop at Eltham Centre Library on 16 June at 2-4 pm. A BSL interpreter will be there. Register here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/greenwich-ci…

Many congratulations to our friends @_KnightsOf ! Such a well-deserved honour for such a hard-working team.

@markrhertlein @Royal_Greenwich @RMGreenwich @orncgreenwich @GREHumanities @UniofGreenwich @GreenwichTic @GreenwichTheatr That's so nice of you to say! <<blushes>>

In 2017, Sarah Perry came to our festival to talk about her novel "The Essex Serpent." Read her essay on how it felt when the novel was turned into a mini-series for Apple TV with Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston. theguardian.com/books/2022/may…

Our friend @DapsDraws (GBF19) illustrated this year's absolutely stunning @booksaremybag tote. We love it and can't wait until we get to fill it with books in October.

Happy #WorldBookDay ! For some, it might feel like a regular day. For others (like us), it feels like Christmas Day all over again. Official World Book Day lllustrations by @RobBiddulph (GBF17)
