The 11th Chiswick Book Festival brings together top authors and their readers for an inspiring and entertaining long weekend of fiction, history, politics, economics, crime, gardening, espionage, biography, TV, workshops, children’s books and…. food!

We’re delighted to be working again with the Cookbook Festival team, to bring you more sessions for those who love the world of food and drink. Meet authors, chefs, restaurateurs and food industry experts in locations across Chiswick. All Cookbook Festival events are marked with their logo. See their brochure for full details and book tickets at www.chiswickbookfestival.net.

We’ve always celebrated Chiswick writers, and to mark the 10th Festival a year ago, we launched the Chiswick Timeline of Writers & Books. We never thought our search would lead us to more than 250 writers and a Writers Trail graced by Thackeray, Pinter, Osborne and others. See why reported: ‘Chiswick may be Britain’s most literary location’ at www.chiswickbookfestival.net. And don’t miss our Waterstones’ Local Authors Party on Wednesday September 11th.

RAISING MONEY FOR VERY GOOD CAUSES

The Chiswick Book Festival is a non-profit-making community event. Since 2009, the Chiswick Book Festival has raised more than £80,000 for charities and St Michael & All Angels Church, which hosts and runs the Festival as part of its community outreach. This year the Chiswick Book Festival and the Cookbook Festival will continue to support two reading charities:

InterAct Stroke Support, which commissions actors to read to stroke patients. The Festival helps to fund its work at Charing Cross Hospital, Our students have contributing some two months of reading each year. Read more at www. interactstrokesupport.org.

Doorstep Library, which brings books and the magic of reading to the voted us top modern homes of children in some of London’s most disadvantaged areas. Its work * improves reading skills, confidence, academic performance and employment university in London prospects.

We’ll raise awareness and money for it, and the Cookbook Festival team will create recipes to help 0800 036 8888 uwl.ac.uk schools make healthy nutritious meals from the food provided.

The Chiswick Book Festival takes no public money and is funded entirely from the sale of tickets (and cakes, wine and ale!) and sponsorship (see thanks to our partners on page 22). The Cookbook Festival has its own sponsors and helps cover its running costs by holding regular Cookbook Suppers. 3
