Everything you need to know about the world's great writers and emerging voices is being collected and shared on the English PEN Online World Atlas. Head over to the Atlas to create (or edit) a profile for your favourite author or book, leave a comment or contact another user, and discover your next great read. We believe that great writing has the power to change your life and change the world, one book at a time. Here on the blog, we keep track of world literature in the news - stories about publishing, censorship, translation, new media, freedom of expression and new discoveries. Look out for posts from top authors and great guest bloggers! Current administrators are Sophie Mayer (PEN Atlas moderator) and Malgorzata Porzezynska (Arab world moderator).
