Showcase your book in an international literary programme

Every portrait and cover in this gallery belongs to an author featured in the DprimeLit Literary & Arts Festival. Writers join through digital book placement or a live virtual author session, and each one receives a dedicated showcase seen by readers, book clubs and fellow authors around the world.

If you are searching for a literary festival for authors, a place to promote a new book, or a virtual reading event open to independent and traditionally published writers, your cover could be on this wall next. Read our author blog or book your participation.
