Antigua & Barbuda is set to make literary history with the debut of its National Authors’ Week, a groundbreaking festival aimed at celebrating writers, nurturing new talent, and fostering a vibrant culture of storytelling. Scheduled for November 23rd–29th, 2025, the event will unfold under the inspiring theme, ‘Building a Nation of Storytellers.’ Spearheaded by Peetron Thomas, a fervent advocate for creative development and youth empowerment, this initiative marks a significant milestone in the nation’s literary journey. Thomas, who recently released his latest book, ‘Ah Head Mek Book: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Writing, Designing, and Publishing Your Own Book,’ available on Amazon for $10 USD, aims to empower aspiring authors with practical tools to bring their stories to life. The week-long festival will feature a diverse array of activities, including workshops, school tours, an AI literacy session, and community engagement events, all designed to inspire writers of all levels. Highlights include an opening church service, a two-part KDP Crush Course, a book fair, an AI & Book Evolution session, and a grand finale karaoke party. With free admission for all, the festival invites participants of every age and background to join this historic celebration of creativity and storytelling. National Authors’ Week 2025 promises to ignite a passion for writing, encourage cultural expression, and spark a new literary movement across Antigua & Barbuda.
