PEN World Voices to Be Broadcast from PENLive! on Tumblr

Next week, the PEN World Voices Festival of International Literature will be broadcast from PEN’s dedicated Tumblr account, PENlive!. Our crack team of festival correspondents hail from France, Ireland, Brazil, and the People’s Republic of Brooklyn and will be posting videos, photos, and longform pieces from our events.

According to PEN Website Editor Antonio Aiello:

We chose Tumblr again for our blogging platform for PEN World Voices because it allows our festival correspondents to easily broadcast live, in real time, from more than 40 events with 100 authors from 25 countries. And Tumblr loves writers. Can’t argue with that.

The festival runs from April 29-May 5 and offers events ranging from translation to poetry to endangered languages and human rights.

Go to worldvoices.pen.org to learn more. And don’t forget to follow our main Tumblr account penamerican.tumblr.com.
