Between 10 and 25 September 2010, the Wachau region in Austria will become a centre for European literature.

Under an initiative by the European literature portal, Readme.cc, the European Literature Days 2011 will take place there.
Bringing together authors, musicians, scientists, journalists and cultural decision-makers as never before, the festival will foster link-building across national borders through literary exchange.

The festival will be held for the third time in 2011. The chief patron of the European Literature Days 2011 is the governor of Niederösterreich Dr. Erwin Pröll.
