Authors Kazuo Ishiguro, Salman Rushdie and Bernardine Evaristo are among those who will be taking part in the first "hybrid" version of the Edinburgh International Book Festival, organisers have announced.

All 250 events for the August festival will be available online, however, there will also be live events with socially distanced audiences, with almost half of the speakers planning to appear in person in Edinburgh.
