2013 marks a mammoth year for the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival, as Southeast Asia's most renowned literary event gets set to celebrate its 10 year anniversary, 11 - 15 October in Ubud, Bali. In 2013, the Festival comes full circle returning to its original theme Through Darkness to Light/Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang honouring RA Kartini, Indonesia's beloved women’s rights pioneer. Beyond paying homage to Kartini, the 2013 program will focus on women's stories, women's rights and education, heroes and visionaries. Writers across all genres will be embraced, including travel writers, songwriters, playwrights, poets, comedians and graphic novelists.
