brisbanewritersfestival

Brisbane Writers Festival champions curiosity and creativity in Queensland. We connect and grow Queensland’s reading and writing communities through transformative cultural experiences that elevate the vitality of the literary arts and contribute to dynamic public conversation. The Brisbane Writers Festival welcomes thousands of readers, writers and thought-leaders to ignite imaginations, ask big questions, showcase literature, and celebrate stories in all forms.  Brisbane Writers Festival also presents Word Play, our education program designed to present literary-inspired experiences for students and teachers with relevant curriculum connections, and Love YA, a day of free programming to celebrate the world of young adult fiction. Throughout the year Brisbane Writers Festival also presents a series of out-of-season events.
