THE FESTIVAL 2024

see us in action

ReaderBank 2024 @

the Edinburgh International Book Festival

ReaderBank returns this August to the home of our collaborators, the Edinburgh International Book Festival with new findings, new activities, and new questions. Come say hello, and see what we’re all about!

Introductory Workshop

18th August | 10:00am
EFI Venue B

Do you hear characters’ voices in your head while you’re reading? What does it feel like to dive into their fictional worlds?

Join us as we talk you through why we’re asking questions such as these, and how we’re currently attempting to answer them. We’ll also be presenting our findings from last year’s festival and sharing how you can get involved this time!

ReaderBank Drop-In

21st - 24th August | 11:00am - 16:00
Next to Canopy Cafe

In our drop-in sessions this year, we’re delving deeper into reading and the mind, with our groundbreaking VoiceMatch technology, and we’ll be asking readers what famous characters sound like to them.

We’ll also be launching our new-and-improved Imagination Quiz.

Come along, say hello, and find out how you can get involved at this year’s festival!
