The Edinburgh International Book Festival is going full strength, to Keep the Conversation Going, although nobody is anywhere near Charlotte Square Garden.
Instead there are two studios set up in the city centre and everything is first being live streamed and then recorded to YouTube for you to watch again at your leisure.
If you have seen nothing over the weekend then you have already missed yourself as Hilary Mantel and Maggie O’Farrell have already appeared. There was a session with Rutger Berman and one with Val McDermid talking to Dame Joan Bakewell. Access all the content from the weekend here
So settle in and get ready for today.
