Did you know that Magaluf is becoming the new literary hotspot?

Now, it can also become your place to create.

Finding the silence needed to listen to your own voice is, nowadays, the greatest luxury of all. We want Magaluf to be not only a literary epicenter, but also a space for creation. That’s why FLEM - Festival Literatura Expandida a Magaluf is launching its first literary residency, born from a commitment to offer you the scarcest asset of our time: your own time.

The residency includes accommodation at INNSiDE by Meliá UK Calvià Beach, travel to Mallorca, financial support, and access to the festival’s PRO sessions, where you’ll connect with the local cultural sector.

Applications are open until June 15th.
