With writers Ingo Niermann, Ann Cotten, Rajeev Balasubramanyan, Sophie Jung, Tom McCarthy and Adam Thirlwell
Fiktion is a network of German and English speaking writers, investigating the opportunities afforded by the digital to spark a new euphoria in fiction writing, publishing, and reading.
The Fiktion project operates on several levels: The digital publication of German- and English-language literature that does not fit the current criteria of the market; all titles are distributed free of charge; the creation of an international network of writers that is seeking out manuscripts for Fiktion and will support them after publication; the advancement of the debate about copyright law; the development of a new reading format that encourages concentration, which is currently being researched at the Freie Universität Berlin.
In a two-part event you will have the opportunity to participate in an innovative writing workshop with Ingo Niermann from Fiktion and author Ann Cotten, as well as attend and engage in the evening's readings by authors Rajeev Balasubramanyan and Sophie Jung, followed by a conversation plus Q&A with Adam Thirlwell, Tom McCarthy, Ann Cotten and Ingo Niermann.
Fiktion is a project of Fiktion e.V., developed in cooperation with the
Haus der Kulturen der Welt with support from the
Kulturstiftung des Bundes.
