My blog was originally created to review, celebrate and promote literary festivals and events, as well as posting book reviews, and this has been a challenge in recent times – everything has been cancelled! But people are attempting to make the best of this situation, transferring their events online, so here’s a list of the virtual literary festivals and events still taking place…

Please feel free to add details of any other virtual literary events using the comments below.

I’m continuing to update this and remove old festivals, adding more as new ones appear.
