The Seoul International Writers’ Festival is a global literary festival that has been held since 2006 to promote the exchange between Korean literature and world literature. Marking its 15th year, the 2026 Seoul International Writers’ Festival created a special occasion where writers, readers, and stories in various languages and narratives came together in one place. Not only domestic writers, but also international artists who are usually hard to access can experience literature more closely through a rich program of talks, workshops, and exhibitions. At the festival site where books and people, language and emotion intersect, this festival offers a profound literary experience that can only be realized between people, under the question, “Who are you?”
