The Yayasan Mudra Swari Saraswati, Festival Director Janet De Neefe and the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival staff and Committee would like to thank you all for contributing to the 2009 event. Your presence, energy, thoughtfulness and enthusiasm were much appreciated by local and international writers and readers and by the local community in Bali.
We have been overwhelmed by the positive responses we have received, and know that this year’s Festival has gone far in achieving our aims of bringing international and Indonesian writers together, and creating a space for meaningful dialogue.
In this year of Suka Duka, Compassion and Solidarity, it was extraordinary for us to hear such passionate and dynamic literary voices discussing their craft, while at the same time being able to provide a platform for cross-cultural discussions on some of the most compelling issues of our times.
See you next year! 6-10 October 2010
