Led by the National Centre for Writing, the International Literature Exchange (ILX) returns in 2025–26, inviting literature professionals from around the world to participate in its latest digital programme. This is an opportunity open to anyone who works with words, books and stories; this might include publishers, educators, event organisers, agents and activists. Only writers who also hold another role within the wider literature ecosystem will be selected. Applicants can be based in Ireland, Indonesia, South Korea, Ukraine and the UK.
Learn, collaborate, and build international networks through a dynamic series of events from September to December 2025 — culminating in a global symposium in January 2026.
Approximately six participants from each region will be chosen, bringing together a cohort of around 30 participants in total.
Selected participants will be contacted by Thursday 31 July 2025.
