Hyderabad Literary Festival (HLF) is an annual event that celebrates creativity in all its forms. Started in 2010, the Festival draws over a hundred writers, artistes, scholars, publishers from India and abroad each year. HLF is a multi-lingual event with a strong focus on writing in the Indian languages.
The Festival has emerged as an important event in the cultural calendar of the country representing as it does the rich and cosmopolitan ethos of the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, as well as the vibrant culture of the modern Cyberabad.
HLF is a Festival for All. Its programme includes conversations with authors, readings, panel discussions, workshops, book launches, cultural programmes, events for college students and school children.
