WELCOME TO THE CHISWICK B OOK FESTIVAL 2019
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 the Observer
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.
RAISIN G MON EY FOR VERY G OOD 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

Doorstep Library, which brings books and the magic of reading to the
homes of children in some of London’s most disadvantaged areas. Its work
improves reading skills, confidence, academic performance and employment
prospects. Read more at www.doorsteplibrary.org.uk
This year, we’re delighted to support a new charity – The Felix Project, which

and money for it, and the Cookbook Festival team will create recipes to help
schools make healthy nutritious meals from the food provided. Read more at
https://thefelixproject.org
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.
