international writers’ workshop & residency

Founded in 2004, the International Writers’ Workshop (IWW) at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has hosted over 150 writers from more than 60 countries. They invite applications from interested writers to join the 2027 Writers-in-Residence Programme from 26 February to 25 March 2027.

The programme will culminate in the IWW Literary Festival with the theme of ‘Inheritance’. Writers are encouraged to share a piece of writing in conversation with the Literary Festival’s theme.
