The inaugural Langkawi Writers’ Festival in Kedah, happening from Sept 1-4, is another positive step towards consolidating the northern Malaysian literary scene, which already has the internationally acclaimed George Town Literary Festival and the independent MYWritersFest in Penang.
The Langkawi Writers’ Festival is set to take place at Auditorium Kota Mahsuri and Balai Seni Negara Langkawi. Both venues will host author sessions, readings, book launches/forums, storytelling gatherings, poetry slams, an art exhibition, movie screenings, travelogue workshops and an arts bazaar.
