I have found 3 streaming events I want to get tickets for to watch. Rosemary Goring talking about Mary Queen of Scots, Emily Wilson talking about translating Homer, and Val McDermid talking about her Queen Macbeth book. But overall the number of events I could choose from was way down on previous years. I have emailed the book festival my views. #bookstodon #books #bookFestivals #Edinburgh #EdinburghBookFestival #accessibility #streaming

On plus, having realised how few of the Edinburgh Book Festival events this year are offering streaming, I can very quickly go through the programme. No need to read all the event listings, looking for those I like. I can just look for the few with a livestream tag under them.

I’ve enjoyed many of their talks remotely in recent years. This feels like a real step back, discriminating against people who can’t attend in person. #bookstodon #books #bookFestivals #Edinburgh #EdinburghBookFestival #accessibility #streaming
