The Bookworm Literary Festival 2013 Opens March 8th in Beijing
Date: 8 - 22 March 2013

Every March, The Bookworm is transformed into a hub of literary, intellectual and creative activity as we celebrate all things books with The Bookworm International Literary Festival. BLF is a celebration of literature and ideas, featuring writers, thinkers, artists and performers from China and beyond.

The BLF program includes booktalks, panel discussions, writing workshops and performances – plus our children’s program with writing and drawing workshops and interactive storytelling sessions; a Chinese-language program presenting international authors to a Chinese audience; and our lively Footnotes program with music, comedy, film and events that defy category. We continue our International Schools, bringing international and Chinese authors into classrooms and inspiring tomorrow’s writers and thinkers.

BLF is an independently funded festival, dedicated to bringing you the best writers and thinkers. Starting with a small team passionate about literature, BLF has grown to become one of the world’s most prestigious literary festivals. Through our expertise and ever expanding connections, we will bring more authors, thinkers and intellectuals to events throughout China, as well as provide an even greater platform to showcase Chinese authors to the world.

The BLF 2013 program includes booktalks, panel discussions, writing workshops and performances with 80 speakers from 19 countries. Our full program goes live Friday, January 25th but check out our line-up of dazzling speakers now, featuring bestselling writers, brilliant debut novelists, China experts, journalists, illustrators, performers, poets and more! Plus, we launch two exciting series of events: Future Perfect and Big Ideas.
