About Conversations on the Coast: The East Neuk Literary Festival

At Conversations on the Coast, we celebrate the rich literary heritage of Scotland. Whether you’re a fan of contemporary fiction, historical novels, crime, or non-fiction, our festival has something for every book lover. Join us as we delve into the minds of talented authors, exploring their latest publications and the stories behind their writing.

Hosted in the stunning seaside town of Elie and Earlsferry, this festival invites you to indulge in the natural beauty of the Scottish coastline while you indulge your literary appetite. Perhaps, while you’re here, you can also enjoy some local cuisine or take a walk along the Seaside Award-Winning beach!

This year, immerse yourself in the Waterstones Scottish Book of the Year, be chilled by a collection of hauntings, dive into the life of a globetrotting sports writer, and find yourself flummoxed by a master of crime fiction. Whatever your literary passion, you’ll find something that will delight you.
