YOUR BOOK AT #UWRF22 We celebrate authors at all career stages, and book launches are a unique opportunity to host a spotlight event for your work. If you’re launching a book this year, we encourage you to apply to be part of this exclusive program. From 23–27 October, leading authors, artists, thinkers, and performers from across Indonesia and the world will converge at the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival, Southeast Asia’s biggest Festival of words and ideas. The festival book launches are held in a range of fabulous restaurants, galleries, and other venues around Ubud. The format of the event is up to you: speeches, a conversation, a reading, giveaways, it’s your vision! Past participants include Tony Wheeler, Diana Darling, Shamini Flint, Ahmad Fuadi, Leila S. Chudori, Seno Gumira Ajidarma, Michael Vatikiotis, Butet Manurung, Phil Jarratt, Galuh Wandita, and the Singapore Writers Group.
