October Highlights In BALI - Ubud Readers & Writers Festival 2012

The Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (UWRF) is one of the largest and most exciting literary festivals in South East Asia. Our 2012 Festival will take place from 3 – 7 October, and will feature over 100 Indonesian and international writers, journalists, publishers and festival directors. As part of the UWRF, the Book Launch program is always well attended and enjoyed by the audience, locals, other writers, press and of course, readers.

The UWRF is one of Asia's leading contemporary literary events. Since its inception in 2004, the UWRF has successfully delivered 8 major Festivals, which have featured the work of more than 1100 different artists and writers from over 100 countries. The UWRF also produces associated publications, supporting public programs and specialised education activities for students and school groups. The event and most UWRF programs are presented ticketed as well as free to the public.

Some famous writer from all over the world is planning to come such as Bosnia, Sri Lanka, Burma, Kashmir, Pakistan, The Congo and Iran and hopefully will participate on the most occasions during five days of conversation, readings, workshops and performance.
