Ubud Writers & Readers Festival and Women of Letters

From page to homepage: letter writing goes digital with Ubud Writers & Readers Festival and Women of Letters Hot on the heels of a hugely successful tour of Indonesia with the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival 2013, literary salon Women of Letters now brings the love of letter writing to your small screen. Curated by Marieke Hardy and Michaela McGuire, Women of Letters events in Australia and all over the world focus on the value of letter writing and reviving the lost art of written correspondence. Now, in this unique venture, you can share your letters from home with the Women of Letters online letter writing platform on the UWRF website. Building on the momentum of workshops and events held in Jakarta, Yogyakarta and Ubud – which included lit-world luminaries like Anne Summers, Lionel Shriver, Ayu Utami and musician Clare Bowditch – the innovative letter writing portal will encourage entries via snail mail, digital upload, or soundbyte submission. Each month will explore a different theme, the first being the 2013 Festival’s ‘A Letter to a Wish’. More
