Taiwan Pitch brings together international creative talent from various fields and specialist backgrounds to come to Taiwan, inviting them to take this land as their source of inspiration and field of creation, and enriching their artistic and creative energy through practical experience. Today, we are announcing another headliner of this program: award-winning French writer Éric Faye

Award-winning French writer Éric Faye is one of the headliners of Taiwan Pitch.

Éric Faye is a French writer who used to be a journalist for Reuters. He published his first collection of essays in 1991 and his first novel in the following year. So far, he has published over ten essay collections and novels.
