The festival is located in the Bruntsfield neighbourhood of Edinburgh at a crossroads known as Holy Corner (due to having four churches on one corner).

  • It’s vital that we celebrate the books that are often overlooked, or dismissed as 'mere entertainment' because they are stories about women, by women.

    Claire Daverley, author of Talking At Night

  • 40% more women’s fiction novels were bought by readers [in 2022], making the genre the biggest seller overall in the UK

    Sara-Jade Virtue, Brand Development Director, Fiction, Simon & Schuster

  • The Edinburgh Women’s Fiction festival will shine a light on the genre, enabling writers to meet each other, encourage emerging writers in the genre, and to introduce their work to new readers.
