The Rathbones Folio Sessions are a series of dynamic literary events – including panel discussions, readings, in-conversations and performances – featuring members of the international, multidisciplinary and cross-generational Folio Academy. Different sessions take place throughout the year, in a variety of venues across the U.K, but are anchored by the annual, day-long ‘festival’ held in London at the British Library, on the eve of the Prize ceremony. These flagship Rathbones Folio Sessions take place the day before the announcement of the Rathbones Folio Prize winner, and feature writers shortlisted for each year’s prize.
