The program will be hosted by the Filba Foundation, an NGO that works to promote the circulation of books and literature among diverse audiences in South America. Filba organises one of the biggest literature festivals in the Spanish language, with more than 100 participating authors, and the writers in residency will be a part of the programme. Therefore, it would be beneficial if the selected writers had published in a language such as English, Spanish or French. Filba’s team will receive the writers and help them become acquainted with the local literary scene. The foundation’s offices are located in Eterna Cadencia, one of the most beautiful bookstores in the city.
