Brisbane Writers Festival

Brisbane Writers Festival brings a richly curated experience to Brisbane each year, as well as exciting out-of-season events. We exist to grow Brisbane’s writing and reading communities through transformative cultural experiences that celebrate the literary arts and contribute to dynamic public conversation. Delight in the books and writers you love, and discover new ones, as you share in conversations ranging from fiction to politics, science to sport and everything in between. Join in fervent discussions and ardent exchanges of ideas. Festival highlights include panel discussions, remarkable and thought-provoking presentations and reflections of the times in which we live, our dedicated young adult fiction program Love YA, and our engaging schools program Word Play.
