Welcome to the friendliest gathering of writers on the planet: The Stockholm Writers Festival. By following this electronic schedule over the course of SWF25, you’ll always be up-to-date. The live schedule also contains the link to our Micro Fiction contest.

Don’t forget the most important thing about SWF: To meet your scribe tribe! Have a great SWF!

SWF After Hours

If you don’t want the connection to stop when SWF ends each day, meet your scribe tribe at Olilver Twist pub and restaurant and discover Södermalm (the neighborhood) while you’re at it. Take the bus or the train from Historiska. Or walk 45 minutes.

Day 3: Sunday, August 31

3:10 to 4:30: Literary Idol (With a 5-minute break)

Location: Baroque Hall

With agents John Baker, Abi Fellows and Jemima Forrester: At SWF18—our very first year—we debuted this event. Now it’s a regular feature. What is it? A fun (yet respectful) gameshow-style happening. Participants can submit the first page of their anonymous work which is then read to our expert panel of agents and editors. Judges indicate when they would stop reading and give constructive critique. Whether you submit your own writing or not, you will learn by witnessing live what agents respond to, and, importantly, what makes them stop reading.

4:30: Reveal of the SWF24 Microfiction contest winner

4:31 to 5:00: Mingle and goodbyes!

Agent One-on-Ones

In these sessions, participants get ten minutes with the agent of their choice to pitch their work and receive feedback. These are booked according to demand throughout the Festival. You’ll be notified of your time before SWF kicks off on August 29.

Every effort will be made to adhere to this schedule. However, all program elements and times are subject to change.
