About this event

The Seoul International Writers Festival is a global literary festival that has been held since 2006 to promote exchange between Korean and world literature. Marking its 15th anniversary this year, the 2026 Seoul International Writers Festival has created a special venue where writers, readers, and diverse languages and stories come together. Through a rich program including dialogues, workshops, and exhibitions featuring not only domestic authors but also international writers who are usually difficult to access, visitors can experience literature more closely. It is a festival where books and people, language and emotions intersect, offering a profound literary experience possible only between people, under the question, "Who are you?"
