The Open Book Festival is proud to unveil an exceptional roster of authors for its upcoming event, happening from 6 to 8 September, 2024, at the HCC Homecoming Centre in Cape Town.
The lineup features a diverse mix of established and emerging voices from South Africa and across the African continent.
This year’s festival promises to be more than just a celebration of literature; it will serve as a vital platform for meaningful discussions. The lineup includes a wide array of talented writers, reflecting the rich tapestry of African literature.
Festival-goers will have the opportunity to purchase books by participating authors through the event’s official partner, The Book Lounge. Attendees are encouraged to support these talented writers and delve into their works ahead of the festival.
The full programme, set to be released in early August, will feature an array of panel discussions and performances. Visitors can look forward to planning their festival experience once the complete schedule of events is made available on the official website.
