Support through Membership
As an independent body, the FLF relies on funding for the festival and our outreach work.
Memberships support our School Reading Programme which runs throughout the year,
and include benefits like discounts as well as early access to the programme and ticket sales.

Your support will enable us to host some of the greatest contemporary authors and thought leaders from South Africa, Africa and rest of the world.
Your contribution will enable us to plan
for future literacy projects in the Franschhoek Valley.
You will contribute to providing a platform
for new and emerging voices on the
South African literary landscape.
