Last year’s Kampot Writers and Readers Festival (KWRF) – the first – was a surprise hit. But the organisers had just 10 weeks to put it together.
For this year’s festival – which takes place in November – they’ve had all 52. Festival director Julien Poulson, who hosted a launch event in Phnom Penh on Wednesday night, describes last year’s edition as an on-the-fly success, and a learning experience for all involved.
