The English Pen Online World Atlas |
|
Everything you need to know about the world's great writers and emerging voices is on this site, created by PEN, the worldwide writers' association. We believe that great writing has the power to change your life, and to change the world.
All the content is added by you: readers and writers who want to pass on your tips and create a new global community of readers. This site is launching with a focus on writing from the Arab region. There is a world of writing out there. Tell us about it!
Find out more and share your thoughts about the site on our blog, with daily posts about translation, world literature and literature online. Throughout February, we'll be posting new writing from Gaza, flagging up each new writer as a Featured Author here on the front page.
To stay updated with Atlas news, you can sign up for our newsletter (click on the tab above) or join our Facebook fan page. Become a supporter of English PEN as well!
