Dublin Book Festival is one of Ireland’s leading and most dynamic literary festivals, showcasing and celebrating Ireland’s writers, illustrators and publishers since 2006. At Dublin Book Festival, we are committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment across all aspects of our operations, activities, events and programming. We believe that the stories we tell and the voices we amplify should reflect the rich diversity of those writing, illustrating and publishing in contemporary Ireland.
We envision a literature and festivals industry where diverse voices are celebrated and empowered, and where every reader and festival attendee can see themselves reflected in the stories we share. At Dublin Book Festival, through our year-round team, seasonally contracted staff, and Board, we are committed to doing our part to make this vision a reality.
Reviewing and evaluating how we have upheld our DEI policy forms a core part of our mid-year internal report, and our end-of-year executive report each year. The policy is approved by our Board and reviewed annually.
