Twelve hours, twelve festivals, twelve countries – in a continuous marathon transmission. Literature Live Around the World (LLAW) 2021, conceived and produced by LitFest Bergen, was the largest digital literary collaboration of its kind.


Hosts Siss Vik and Mona B Riise from the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) presented all 12 hours of live transmission from Bergen’s House of Literature.


The Perth session, curated and produced by Writing Western Australia, features award-winning author Kim Scott in conversation with broadcaster Gillian O'Shaughnessy.
