About the Festival

ALF 2007

For the 2007 edition of ALF, the existing festival organisers – Pip Farquharson, Helen Mason and Kate Burwell – joined forces with members of LPA (Literaire Podia Amsterdam), a network of diverse literary organisations.

The decision to merge was made not only create to a larger, more diverse festival for the public but also to strengthen relations between English-speakers, the Dutch and other nationalities – as well as booksellers and publishers –in the city.

This collaboration has resulted in a strong, core team of organisers who share both a passion for literature and creating engaging and innovative public events.
