Writing Program
The Asialink Writing Program connects Australian writers, readers and publishers with their counterparts in Asia. We run immersive in-country residencies, high-profile author tours, collaborative cross-media projects, produce engaging books, and organise national and international public events. You’ll find us everywhere from the lawn stage at the Jaipur Literature Festival to the back alleys of Seoul, collaborating with everyone from writers and publishers to designers and architects
