Every year since its successful inception in 2010, Oxford University Press has been annually organizing the Karachi Literature Festival. So, 2018 is no exception as the biggest literary event is all set to take place on the 9th of February till the 11th of February 2018 at the Beach Luxury Hotel.

KLF is the brainchild of Ameena Saiyid and Asif Farrukhi that brings together authors writing in diverse languages and genres. Speaking to IDG Pakistan team earlier, Ameena Saiyid, Managing Director OUP Pakistan and co-founder and Director at Karachi Literature Festival and Islamabad Literature Festival, said,

I call this a movement. It’s a movement for literature, reading, for expression, for discussion and the Karachi Literature Festival was the first of its kind to be held in Pakistan. It gives us immense pleasure to see that there are multitudes of festivals happening around the country celebrating literature.
