Lots of famous authors stop in the Netherlands to promote their latest work. By attending one of these events, you get an inside look at the author's perspective and may even get a signature on your copy of the book!

Take the Winternachten Literary Festival in The Hague, for example. Many writers will appear at this event, including Antjie Krog, Tash Aw, Junot Diaz, and Jonathan Safran Foer.

The festival is held from Thursday Jan. 14th - Sunday Jan. 17th. Tickets can be purchased online, and a full program is also located on the website. The festival is located at Theater aan het Spui, which isn't far from The Hague's Central Station.
