A festival celebrating books, conversations and great stories

Giulia Enders
German doctor, researcher and author Giulia Enders gained international recognition with the bestseller Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body’s Most Underrated Organ, published in more than 30 countries. This September, she returns with Organisch, exploring the fascinating connections within the human body and revealing what our lungs, skin, immune system and brain can teach us about health and well-being.

Madeline Taylor
British author Madeline Taylor is the creator of the international phenomenon Heir of Illusion, a fast-paced and adventurous romantasy series of the highest calibre. The first book in the series, Heir of Illusion, was self-published in March 2024, and it did not take long before readers embraced the story of the young woman Ivy and the mysterious stranger Thorne—soon followed by major publishers and literary agencies. The book has been sold for publication in 17 countries, and the Danish edition, Heir of Illusion – Skyggens hævn, was released earlier this spring. Photo: Lauren White
Dörte Hansen
Dörte Hansen (b. 1964) is one of Germany’s most acclaimed and widely read contemporary authors. Before making her literary debut with Kirsebærlandet (2015), she worked for several radio stations and magazines in Germany. At Bogforum 2026, Dörte Hansen will present her poetic novel Til havs (2026), a story about an island community in decline and a family struggling to find its place on the margins. Photo: Multivers
