The Durban International Book Fair is on until Sunday at the Globe Casino.
Entry is free and there is no charge to attend the event.
The book fair features a diverse range of writers and literary genres – from fiction to non-fiction, academic writing to poetry.
The event also includes panel discussions, workshops and book launches.
It is hoped they will provide a space for literary enthusiasts to engage with their favourite writers and learn from them.
“The Book and Beyond” is an exciting and thought-provoking theme for the book fair.
This theme invites people to explore the limitless possibilities of literature and its potential to inspire them to transcend their current realities.
People are encouraged to look beyond the pages of a book and explore how literature can impact their lives, communities and the world around them.
Whether people are reading for pleasure or for educational purposes, this theme is a reminder that books have the power to take us on incredible journeys and to expand our perspectives on the world.
The book fair promises to be an enlightening and enriching experience for all literature enthusiasts. It is also a celebration of the transformative power of books.
The inclusive event will provide a platform to 200 writers, featuring 150 sessions over five days.
It will also include workshops on film-making, radio and all aspects of publishing from cover design to writing, editing, sales and marketing.
It is hoped this celebration of creativity will result in a surge of new thoughts, ideas and collaborations.
