About Writers Unlimited

Connecting writers with each other and with audiences, across borders of cultures and countries. That is the mission of Writers Unlimited (formerly known as Winternachten), the international literature festival. In an annual festival and monthly events in The Hague (The Series), and in tours across the world, Writers Unlimited brings together writers and poets. During those encounters, they exchange - before an audience and amongst each other - their literary work, their experiences, dreams and ideas. In all languages and in all their cultural diversity. These encounters are celebrations of the word, feasts of discovery and recognition, with an open eye for everything that globalisation means for society. In the words of one of the festival's participants: 'The word here is held sacred. Books are read, treasured, held in the highest regard. The Netherlands is a country that loves its books, and its writers more. This was apparent in the Writers Unlimited Festival in The Hague. After having toured with them and having brought the festival to Kuala Lumpur, I see why this festival is held in such high regard. It was an honest festival, with all the respect for writers and audiences. People were provoked, titillated and thrilled. Writers mingled with audiences alike, the organizing team shared their time with us, and we danced, ate, and drank together. Alliances were formed, encounters emerged. Energy was exchanged as our networks continue to spread across the continents.' Bernice Chauly (Malaysia)
