PVLF 2026: The Breakthrough Edition

Celebrating 5 Years of Conversation Changemaking
The PVLF isn’t a celebrity-driven lit fest.
It’s a reader-led revolution, created to celebrate genuine stories, new authors, and voices who seldom get heard!

During the past 5 years, the PVLF has established itself as the most democratic literary platform in India;

πŸ“š 300+ authors featured
πŸ—³ 400,000+ public votes received
🌍 30+ countries represented
And millions of stories discovered.

From breakout debuts to genre-defining books, the PVLF has championed major talent that represents talent that actually has a right to speak.

Now, we find ourselves in year five- and so we have a breakthrough edition in PVLF 2026, not just for ourselves, but for all of us who believe stories can touch hearts, shift perspectives and launch real change.

🎯 Expect author marathons. Expect loud debates. Expect publishing reality.
But most of all- expect the unexpected.

Because this is more than a festival.
It is the stage where the future of storytelling is up for grabs.
