Northern Writers is a non-profit organisation, began by Yusuf Martin, with the concept of bringing an understanding of writing, arts and culture, entirely free, to areas north of Kuala Lumpur. It is an understanding that those writers who participate in Northern Writers do so free of charge, as do the organisers and supporters. Entrance is free to all who enjoy the arts.
Northern Writers intends to open itself up to the general public, and not be in the slightest elitist. There is opportunity for all to learn about different aspects of writing, editing, publishing as well as listen to practised writers read from their works – national and international. At times artists and cartoonists will be invited to talk about art and/or their artworks. Sometimes the format will be audience/reader, and at other times discussion and Q&A will seem more appropriate but, whatever the format, the dual intention is to entertain and promote literacy in the broadest possible sense.
