The Hong Kong International Literary Festival (HKILF) 2025 celebrates the joy of reading with a diverse lineup of renowned and emerging writers from around the world. This annual festival brings together authors, storytellers, and literary enthusiasts for a dynamic program featuring panel discussions, book talks, readings, workshops, performances, literary walks, and school programs.

Over the years, HKILF has hosted literary greats such as Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman, Amy Tan, Irvine Welsh, David Sedaris, and Shehan Karunatilaka, making it a landmark event in Hong Kong’s cultural calendar. Alongside international voices, the festival also spotlights local literary talents, fostering a vibrant and inclusive literary community.
