Event Description
A literary festival is an event that celebrates literature and the written word. It typically brings
together authors, writers, readers, publishers, and other literary enthusiasts for a series of
activities, discussions, and events related to literature. Literary festivals can vary in size and
scope, ranging from local or regional events to large international gatherings.

These festivals often feature a diverse range of activities, including author readings, book
signings, panel discussions, literary workshops, book launches, and performances. They
provide a platform for authors to connect with their readers, discuss their work, and engage in
conversations about various literary themes and topics. Literary festivals also serve as a space
for the exchange of ideas, the promotion of books, and the exploration of different genres and
writing styles.

Many literary festivals aim to foster a sense of community among readers and writers, as well
as promote a love for literature and the arts. Some well-known literary festivals include the
Hay Festival, Edinburgh International Book Festival, Jaipur Literature Festival, and many others
held around the world.

Risk management is an active effort to reduce and eliminate risks associated with an event, and
to take steps to prepare in case those risks occur. For events, risks can include equipment/tech
