Festa Literária Internacional de Paraty

Funding is provided by a graduated system of sponsors and is driven by the nonprofit Associação Casa Azul.

In addition to lectures, discussions, literary workshops and events for children (Flipinha) and young people (Flipzona) are also held.

The worldwide success since its founding year is mainly due to the involvement of internationally recognized authors from several countries.

FLIP is associated with other similar events, such as the International Festival of Authors in Toronto, Canada, and Festivaletteratura in Mantua, Italy, to show intercultural literature.

FLIP originated a pocket edition in the United Kingdom, named Flipside, held at Snape Maltings.
