Litro’s World Series spotlights one city’s writers, artists, and ideas through a special issue and live salons.
Each year readers help us pick the next city and we build programming with local partners on the ground.

Why the World Series matters

We put cities on the page—then on the map

Each edition becomes a global conversation: print, digital, salons, and a live weekend of readings.

Reader-led, editor-curated

You vote. Our editors build the programme with on-the-ground partners, commissioning original work and translations.

Real outcomes

New voices discovered. Rights sales and festival invites. Cultural links that outlive the issue.
