At the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature, we bring people of all ages and backgrounds together with authors from across the world to promote education, debate and above all else, love of reading and writing.

Bringing together more than 130 of the world’s greatest writers, thinkers and doers, our programme for the 12th edition of the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature allows us to begin the search for answers to the great questions in life.

The programme is jam-packed with inspiring, fun and mind-boggling sessions that will delight and astound people of all ages. Nowhere else in the world can you hear such a diverse range of voices tackle one topic together. That’s why stories happen at the Festival.
